This is what you could possibly make before you buy your own plane, insure it, maintenance, and put it in a hanger. Subtract all that from the above and you may have a chance if you can get the students. ;)
 
And I thought I was doing well making $25/hr with a normal work week that's between 20-25 hours...

I must learn from you! Tell us the secrets!
 
It would be awesome if CFI's could afford gas and tires for their car.


no kidding, I recently put tires on my dually. Checkbook really took a beating on that one. Not to mention I have a 120 mile, 2 hour commute every day. I'm thinking maybe a small camper trailer and an rv park are in my future.
 
:yup: Thank you Lima for your awesome picture. After seeing those figures I was afraid I was doing something terribly wrong not to bank anything close to those amount for instructing. But nothing side tracks financial woes like a little nature.
 
Has anyone seen "Capitalism: A Love Story"? I wasn't planning to see it, because of how I feel about supporting Michael Moore, but I heard there's a section where he discusses pilots on food stamps.
