Another thing to look at is - the more you fly, the less the hourly expenses!! They don't charge you more for tiedowns the more you fly, or insurance. Actually... insurance charges you less with more hours! I ESTIMATE... I really don't care to look (plus my dad helps me with $$) I'm doing about $35/hr. I do fly 200+ hours a year, though.

There are ways to save money with owning an airplane. This forum being the key piece. Owner assisted annuals, tying it down rather than hangaring it, there's always options, other than skimping on maintenance. Do your own oil changes. Change the tires yourself.

There's nothing better than owning. Trust me on this one.
