I have worked flipping hard since i have left school, saved every penny, now in a position to pay for all my training, and still leaves me with enough money for a type rating, or a deposit on a house,
Hope this helps.

No debt, (i payed my debt working and getting treated like a dog)

Yes, get a job, work hard, if lucky you can live somewhere cheap, or do as flyvirgin!!!
Get a loan? Bad idea, unless you like to die of stress before you get 30. Go modular, step by step, you have plenty of time. At least this way you will find out if this is really what you want to do too!
Best thing, this advice is free!
