No it doesn't moron. Take a coarse in basic math.

Getting a license costs a lot more than any of these things, at least
around
here. And I can't afford any of them. Neither can many other people.

Not having a hot tub does not a martyr make - at least not where I come
from.

Doing without a hot tub will not help most people to afford flying.

Just one of many good examples.


The tendency towards people wanting/expecting immediate gratification is
a
more serious threat than anything else IMO.

Well, perhaps that problem will be solved, and GA will disappear, and
you'll
get your wish.


What do you propose? Socialized aviation? Get a life,,,,, or better yet, get
job.

To be not committed in aviation is a very dangerous thing indeed. I
think the tired old quote is something like "aviation is not inherently
unsafe, But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly
unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity, or neglect."

Being committed in the sense of sacrificing else is not the same as being
committed to flying safely, and the latter does not require the former.

Going without a brand new gas guzzling SUV or two is hardly being a
martyr.

Doing without one will not pay for flying, which is much more expensive.

Yes it will fjukktard. My airplane cost me less than a fast bike.
