I would suggest you try and obtain your PP license as quickly as possible to reduce the number of hours required to pass, therefore reducing your costs. This can be achieved by flying just about every day, since you won't be spending time relearning what you learned in previous lessons taken days/weeks before.
I earned my license in 37 hours back in 1971. I didn't attribute this to exceptional skills on my part, but rather training/flying almost every day during a five week period.
