One thing that time management classes suggest is using money to

Of course, once I pay somebody else to mow my lawn, I can no longer afford
to buy a tow at the glider field. My approach is to do my own yard work,
thus saving the expense of a gardner, *and* getting some exercise, thus
avoiding the expense of a gym membership. Then I take that money to the
glider field.

Soaring with a club is still an affordable way to go, at least it *can* be
if that's what the club wants to offer.
