SEP Renewal? Why bother

UK CAA PPL A holder with an SEP rating that expired nearly 3 years ago.




Not sure if I should bother renewing it for the sake of renewing it as I cannot afford to fly GA anymore since the recession started. My job changed and lets just say I earn a lot less than I did 10 years ago. I am not in the GA scene anymore and I am wondering that mabey I should just dump my PPL and forget about it because if I do go to the trouble of a couple hours refresher training with a skill test after, I will end up back where I started waiting another few years just to renew it again. (Part of me dreams of some how having the money one day to pay for a CPL and try my luck as a First Officer!!!)


Should I forget flying a Cessna 152? I only earn £11,000 a year and renewing that rating would mean living on packets of noodles in my cold flat for a while.
Cheers for any advice.. mabey someone has been here before!
