There is no secret to paying for Aviation training unfortunately. You either take out massive loans and get saddled with debts or save save save for a while to pay for the whole thing. I am 32 and have been saving for the last few years, but now I have the funds to take me up thru commercial without debt. I should have all of my tickets by the end of the year, allowing me to start my dream career at age 33 in 2018.

I didnt want to start this career change so late, but I have a family and could not take on so much debt. By saving and paying with cash, should things not work out I can jump back into regular work without having huge payments to worry about.
