Don't let me put you off mate (but I'm going to try my hardest). Realistically you will need a budget of around $150K+ to get you all the way through to a jet posting and unfrozen ATPL these days. Based on what budget you've got whilst you might get your PPL, IR and a bit of CPL training (just, depending on where you train eg US) the bigger issue is unfreezing the license and getting the hours built up. Unless you can start instructing at your local club, instead you will have to start paying to complete the 1500 plus hours and it literally costs a fortune.

I honestly cant see how it's worth self-financing these days the rewards (financial, lifestyle, health etc) are just not worth the debt outlay and job hassle. If you really want to fly try and get through selection for the military route. Besides far more interesting flying too
