6 people x $4k = $24k

Check Barnstormers...most LSA Ercoupes are closer to $30k...

I simply cannot afford to fly anymore. I am
going inactive as a pilot until my financial situation is good enough
that I can justify it.

That sucks, Dean, but I've got an idea. In fact, I'm executing it myself.

I've gathered together six fellow pilots (most of whom already own other
aircraft) and we're going together to buy an LSA Ercoupe. Total
investment will be (at most) $4K per person. Fuel burn will be 4 - 5
gallons of mogas per hour.

Mary and I realized that burning 25 gph at takeoff in an airplane that
carries four people at 142 knots and can haul 1460 pounds is great when
you're traveling, but makes little sense when we're flying to a nearby
pancake breakfast. Who cares if you're going more than 90 knots, when
it's the *flying* that is the point?

So, for less than the cost of a motorcycle, we're all going to get an LSA
aircraft. In the long run it will save us money AND be a lot of fun!
You might look into some similar set up?
