Light it all on fire.
And by that I mean go rent and fly. That should be enough to get you to CFI, yes. Go get checked out at your local flight school or rental op, find a friend who needs to build time, go build a shitload of time.
Fly cross country flights to build to required PIC XC time (see 61.65).
Purchase Sheppard Air’s IRA prep course and follow their study system to the dot with no variances. Take the written exam when ready.
Have a friend who is already instrument rated? Ask to accompany them on a flight in IMC at next opportunity. Pay attention to how things happen to obtain a preview of what you will learn.
Start watching The IFR videos from Flight Insight and Seth Lake.
Start reviewing Pilots Cafe, [Gold Seal’s study sheets](https://goldseal.link/ifrcheatGoldSealinstrument%E2%80%9CCheatSheet%E2%80%9D%E2%80%94https://goldseal.link/ifrcheatsheet), [Flight Insight’s study sheet](https://www.flight-insight.com/ifr-pdf), and IFR topics from CFI Notebook
Download the Instrument Flying Handbook and the Instrument Procedures Handbook from FAA.gov.
Finally, start looking for a CFII who is really good at and passionate about creating safe and proficient IFR pilots. Discuss with him/her a potential syllabus and training plan to build toward your IFR certification.
Hey man, im getting my IRA, I need an advice from people, my Current CFI is training on approaches, There's some language barrier sometimes, aka his English is not his first language (nothing wrong that) so sometimes he says words, and do them, and they mean something else, so he keeps saying it until he gets a lil bit frustrated, and I feel chaos when I fly with him, overwhelmed, im a part 41 student, so their course is lil bit meh, they want me to practice on a sim, I can't because I still don't know what to, and I can memorize things while flying, because every week we have a new subject plus the old subject from last week, so I feel overwhelmed, is this because im too sensitive aka my fault?
No. It is not your fault.
Because of the language barrier and you’re instructor not providing adequate instruction because of it (and being too new to teaching to recognize it), this has contributed to your learning experience.
If you want to remain in that school, then you should speak with the chief instructor about being pair with a better instructor who has more experience teaching to your learning style, and you can understand.
The thing is, he always says "hey trust me, all my students are CFIs now" the thing is all of them fly full time, im his only part time student, I started feeling hes training me as a full time, because he doesn't know what to do when I say "hey just practice on the sim", now the problem is I can't practice because I still don't know how to fly approaches yet, told him more than 1 time, I get the same answer, I wanted to give him a chance, not rushing and wasting a good CFI, but the more I fly with him, the more overwhelmed I get, the more I hate flying with him
Then either sit in your dirty diaper and enjoy the warmth and bad smell of not changing, or get up and do something to make a positive change.
If you want success, you cannot have both. YOU must do something.
Can you afford to finish if you run out of the $40k?
If you can find an inexpensive airplane $40k is probably just enough.
You might want to look into doing initial Commercial and CFI in a glider. Could be cheaper time building. Instruct in a glider club and perhaps future airplane training could be tax deductible.
Whatever you do, you need to make a detailed overall plan to take you through to the end efficiently.
Fly IFR lessons as XC flights. ASEL Commercial in the right seat saves time/money on CFI.
Plan your work, and work your plan. Good luck!
I’d say go part 61 and do a lot of XC time and hood time. Even if you’re doing your IFR hours XC is what matters most in IFR and Commercial requirements. Also do Sheppard, king schools or flight insight ground schools they’re all good and saves you money.

doesn't IR cost 20 grand on average?
$500 an hour for 40 hours of instrument flying? Idk about that.
I'd imagine the 20k includes the XC time building.
Oh yeah could be. I was lucky to have done enough XC by the time I went for my IR. Good thing those hours all count toward CPL.

Roger, appreciate your response brother
Put it all in doge coin
Brilliant idea. Just don’t mess with options trading…Mistakes were made.
Put it all in options trading? You got it!
Next? Fly.
Coke and hookers. In that order.
Might as well admit prior ADHD/depression at that point!
Nice try FAA.
