How much money do I need

[comander]

yes Ur right thats what happened when i got my private pilot certificate, well I live at the moment at a small town near pittsburgh pa , but my wife whants to go to washington or maryland in maybe 4 months I, at this moment will go with her where she whants to but in aprox 9 months I need to begin pursuing my dream, of getting payed to fly,this is why I need to know where to do my flight trainig, but it has to be something that will give me something back cause I wont get that amount of money again.

My advise is to either go to a local FBO and work hard to get it, do a lot of self studying, and make sure you are getting the best for your dollar (you can always ask around here, we will let you know if they are ripping you off).
Now, if you want to do the fast track, bite the bullet and go to a good place like Flight Safety, with them at least you know you are not being ripped off, they will get you all your ratings in about 7 months.

Thanks man for ur concern, Yes ive being hearing that flight safety is better than raa I might as well take a chance there , but well still have to wait a little before I jump into the pool. Well im a bit speechless at the moment ,so Thanks for ur advices! I also heard about one in phoenix I dont remeber the name but Ill find out about that one also. I had a bad experience in taking it hour by hour in my local airport back in guatemala so I figured this time here Ill pay all at once and fly fly fly ,but now I really dont know.

No problem, we are all in the same boat and should help each other. You can always ask Bobysamd, he has first hand experience as an instructor in a few places and he always has good advice for those who seek.

It really depends.

I'd probably be thinking MESA ab initio. You get the degree, the ratings (except the CFI) and the interview. It's yours to lose.

If you don't want to go that route, I'd probably find a good local guy and start with the instrument rating (anyone know if you can do an Instrument/Commercial SE ride?). Work your way through the CFI/II and start instructing. Add the MEI for some twin time and you'd be on your way.

Of course, you'd need to get hired at a place with enough students to keep ya busy too.

With 80K though...I'd go MESA.

JMHO
