I worked at taco bell in high school to pay for my private. After HS I joined the air force reserves. They paid 60% of my ratings after private. If you don't have the money and don't want to take a loan, joining the military is a great way to get that money.

Giles, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you won't get far here. You may have already figured this out. Plenty of us started young. We had jobs. At one point I had 3 jobs at once during the summer between my freshman and sophomore year in college to pay for college stuff, car gas, and flying.
I'd suggest working as a line guy at your local FBO/flight school. You'll be around airplanes and pilots and most will give employees a discount on aircraft rental.

Seriously- take your GoFundMe page down. Get a job at your local airport mowing the lawn and washing airplanes. Do what struggling actors do and wait tables to pay the bills while learning your craft. Anything, but don't beg for money in this profession. It's really unbecoming.

I want to make a go fund me page for "Sam wants an L-19 or Yak-50". About 100k is the goal. Why wait until I've saved up the cash. You guys will buy it for me right? Also, be kind and include a little extra for the first year MX and ADSB.
Thanks guys - you're the best.
I'll also make a fund me page for "Sam is a group 1 CA but thinks he should be a group 4 CA". The pay diff is about 140k. That's the goal. Why wait until I have the seniority to hold G4, you guys will donate now, right?
