I still can't believe I paid $45/hr for a 152 and $20/hr for instructor. I don't know how guys do it now. My flight training combined was less than 13k. That was in 2000-2001. Not too long ago!
Back in 02-04 I paid $86/hr for a 172. Now the same school is charging $223/hr for a Cirrus.

Instrucor fee dropped from $40/hr ( I only got 15 of that) to $36/hr
