Sounds like you caught the bug.
Work at the FBO if they can deal you some reduced rental rates.
Hanger fly.
Study the Gleim written test books for private, instrument, commercial and cfi.
This bug is contagious - after you earn the private certificate, find a friend and share flight time (you'll learn how to safely and legally build flight time at half the cost.)
Don't quit.
After you earn your cfi, grab a multi-engine rating, again, share costs/time with your friend.
Get hired at a regional/commuter airline (I'm sure you know one based at KIND).
Career2, some of the best and most interesting pilots I've run into were 2nd career types (police, military, engineers...)
Watch out on these type of forums - sometimes you will see 'expert' advice from posters that have more postings than hour flown.
Don't quit...
