Hey Ghost, I've been thinking about getting a pilot's liscence for some time now. You know how much classes cost. I am not talking about a commericial liscence, but one to pilot a little old cessna.
You will spend between $2,500 and $3,000 minimum to get your private pilot's license. That will pretty much cover it if you find an instructor pilot and don't go through a school. Going through a school can cost much much more, and I don't generally recommend it.
