Theres been a relatively large amount of threads on this actually.  Theres like a 4 pager called "flying". Im on mobile right now so mh answer is going to be short and sweet.  Depending on where you live, plane rental will be 100-200$ an hour and instructor will be anywhere from 40-80$ an hour.  Plus renter's insurance if you feel it necessary.  Youll need a bunch of books, study material, and flight computer etc.. ($100). You need a bare minimum of 40 hours for a private license, and the written exam was 300 if I remember correctly. Flying is super fun but you definitely need some change to do it.  Good luck!
