Is PPL worth it - ongoing costs?

The love of aviation and flying is not in doubt for me and learning to fly has always been a dream. I am now 30 years old with no commitments so I have started to seriously think about doing a PPL here in the UK. I could just about afford the money to do the course by selling some things and putting up some spare cash. The problem I have in my mind is when I've finished the PPL I'm really very unsure if I will have the spare cash to be able to fly for fun. With this in mind would you say doing a PPL is worthwhile or would I be better off leaving it for a few years until I am sure I will have the cash to be able to do lots of flying after I do the course?

What has everyone else gone on to do immediately post-PPL?
