true, cheapest way to learn to fly is at a small country airport that rents cessna 150 series aircraft---national average for PP is about 60 hrs, so if you get a time-builder CFI you can probably get done for less than 5K.
BTW, there is no such thing as a "night" rating or "mountain" rating in PP.
also you can check into the new sport pilot certification which is even less expensive, but you are very limited in the type of plane you can fly.
