I flew a Cesna for 30 minutes a few weeks ago and I weigh like 230lbs
Such a rich person flex to buy one so you can fly to the island to grab a pie and go home.

Currently back in school for something I've wanted to do since high school and I absolutely love it and am thriving. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
I realize I'm quite privileged to be able to go back to school while still having a roof over my head and food on the table. A lot of folks don't have that luxury. But if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
You'll be working the next 30+ years of your life, might as well spend it doing something you enjoy/are interested in.

What'd you end up doing? I feel like post CPA, it's so hard to leave once you make above average salary for 20-40 hours of work, add remote on top and this is probably what retirement feels like.
