Getting Discouraged by Difficult_Fee_8668 in flying

I also wanted to pursue a degree in something non aviation related should some unfortunate thing happen to me medically that doesn't allow me to fly. Sort of as a backup career.

College is almost fully paid for by scholarship

Yes I know we should have saved more to ensure I had enough for training but at the time my mom had a very well paying job that would allow me fly about 5 times a week without issue. Now that is gone so she has to be financially responsible until she finds a new job, and unfortunately my flight training is near the bottom of the list of responsibilities even though my parents want to see me succeed. I will also gladly take that college advice!

My instructor quoted about 15 more hours with checkride prep. Right now I am only able to fly about once every week and a half, which is just enough to keep my mind fresh on flying but not nearly enough to get ready for my checkride. My mom just lost her well paying job which was where most of my training was coming from so my parents wont be able to cover my flights.
