hey Noob, Definately say it had to be a combo of both. Nobody is gonna have all the money they need for all of the training right off the bat. A lot of stuff will have to be done piecemeal, and you get what rating you can pay for at the time. Unless you are like one student I had whose grandparents were "loaning" here the money(must be nice). I would say pay for what you can out of pocket, definately budget for a lot more because of cost overruns due to wx, mx, etc, but don't fully look away from a loan, I got loans for my CFI, not that they are paid off or anything, but worth it, because I just didn't have the money.
