Want some under-the-hood advice? 
Keep the brown half of the attitude indicator below the blue half.  Do that, and you can't go wrong.  Unless you do.  Then it can get bad.

Yep, it's a drag. You have to look for bargains wherever and whenever you can:  since I got my ticket, I've avoided landing fees and control towers as much as possible, and have gone for the cheaper rentals- usually they're fine mechanically, just have poor aesthetics and less bells and whistles. But they get the job done.
Been thinking about joining another flying club, too-it's usually a better deal in the long run, despite initiation fee and dues.
