Need some advice on my plan for modular training

[Jaair]

Hi guys,

I had completed my PPL a year and a half ago and recently returned to University to get a degree.

I am in no way well off and I am currently studying full time and working 30 hours a week in order to save up for all the training (hour building, ATPL, ME/IR, etc).

I will graduate next year and I estimate that I will have enough money and time to cover the rest of the training in approximately 2-3 years.

Would it be worth spending time and money on flying an hour or two every few months with an instructor? This would of course count towards my hour building but of course none of the hours would be counted as PIC (as well as knowledge being lost due to lack of frequent flying). Would I be wasting my money doing this? Should I just save the money until I have enough to buy hour packs and do it all in one go for my hour building?

Thanks for your time.
