Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean and it can't be done.
It's very realistic to spend HALF that amount, even in 2020, from zero to CFI by training at a local mom & pop shop. Keep your day job and train around your schedule. When I was flight training I was going to college full time and working 2 jobs to help pay for my training. It can be done, it takes a lot of sacrifice and hard work. If you want to be lazy then go out and sign on the dotted line for the 100k loan from one of those pilot mills.
