good luck.
That, sir, is excellent advice. I was going to school full time, working part time, and trying to learn flying. At one point I was driving 125 mi RT to save a few bucks on a 152 at a military flying club. The result was infrequent flights with gaps of a month or more between lessons. It took me way too long to finish my training and probably cost a small fortune. I don't recommend it.
