Flying after getting your private is difficult as well. It is not cheap and can take you away from the family. Most can not make it happen for themselves. I would take measure of the reality of fitting flying into your life. It is not easy. Sometimes it is easier just to turn your back early then to put yourself through the agony of slowly coming the the realization that it will not work out.

Well everyone has different values... I still say if flying is that much in you, then it is part of who you are - and will never leave you. If anyone on this planet will willfully try to prevent you from being who you are for their benefit (or to satisfy their urge for power or control or if it didn't work out for them), then they aren't the right person for you to be with, or listen to. You got your entire life to paint drywall, replace counter tops, and constantly clean... I bet your girlfriend knows this bug exists in you, and she would probably be very proud to be married to a pilot... Private or Commercial. Think of the adventure you could have together even with just the private? Driving kids to soccer practice hardly sounds exciting to me - but that's just me. Get a 0 interest credit card and pay it off within 1 year. The urge won't go away until you at least get your private... Do you wanna be safe and bored? Or do you wanna travel the skies? It's easier to learn when you are still young.
