If you need to make "payments" for the airplane then you can't afford it. Sorry to be curt, but it's the truth. An alternative is don't buy the 90K airplane. There are several cheaper ones out there, perhaps older, perhaps with high time engines, but are still airworth. The fixed costs will be the same, such as fuel, hanger, insurance, etc. But the buy-in is cheaper, and you might not feel bad tying-down outside. However, maintenance will always be issue. Just a thought.
