....That is the question.

So my friend wants to get all his licenses right away. He's about to go for his PPL in the upcoming month and wants to get started with everything else right away. He's really leaning towards purchasing a 152 and building a bunch of time in it. Of course, he'll have to go somewhere else for his COMM and Multi stuff, if he so desires. I told him I probably wouldnt charge him for my CFI services since he's a real cool friend AND if he let me borrow the airplane whenever I wanted

.

Anyway, what's your opinion on it? Should he buy it or not? He can afford the payments and all that good stuff right now and he's been talking about buying an airplane for a while now.... but is it a really a smart way to go about getting your ratings and what not?

Thanks
