Flight schools around central/north Broward
Looking a CHEAP but good flight school just to get my ppl and maybe instrument not in any rush you know, did the wrong thing by trying to do a straight 2 year program just not for me since I like an open schedule and I am more college oriented right now. I would prefer somewhere that has a Cirrus since I have pretty much all the stuff handbooks etc and that's the aircraft I so far have been taught in. Well any recommendation would be good in the FXE PMP area even Boca.

I disagree, the Cirrus is far from cheap.
Start in a C152 or C172 and I'll bet that you'll finish cheaper. I met a fella that did all his private training in a SR22. Guess how much that set him back? $80,000. Yes, eighty thousand dollars! Think about how much a $80K will go? If you budget that right, you might be able to stretch that all the way to an ATP, or at least CP-ASEL, AMEL and a type rating with some change left over.
