The rate in the midsouth is $20 for the instructor and a range between $65 for a C152 or $105 for an Arrow (wet). I did it with a self study program so I didn't pay a dime in ground school, but about $100 for books and study materials. If you ask someone who took lessons back in the 70s it was roughly a third of the price. In other words, it is actually getting cheaper relative to average salaries and costs of living. Most of what I have read predicts between $4k and $6k to learn how to fly so what you are describing sounds reasonable. Did someone tell you it would be cheap?
