In regards to money how much is a ppl roughly?
Depends how many hours it takes you to do it. I've no idea how much lessons are down your neck of the woods but at a civvy school up here (Yorks/Lincs that sort of area)they are about 130-140 an hour chock to chock. You have to do a minimum of 45 hours, plus factor in another grand or so for exams and fees etc, and there's no saying you will do it in 45 hours (which doesn't mean you are in some way an inferior pilot) so say 60 hours at 140 plus a grand you are looking at the thick end of 10K. You only need a class 2 med for normal PPL flying, however if your dream is to go the full monty then you need the class 1.
