How much money do you need to enjoy flying after PPL?

What do most people do after getting their PPL? Join a club? Fly for fun for an hour? Take weekend trips? How much does the average Joe spend on flying a month after getting their PPL?

I would love to spend a couple hours a week or every other week flying - if I could find the time!

My own personal aviation budget is about $500/month at the moment - but I'm actually spending less than that lately due to work and weather getting in the way.

(During training I was spending an average of about $1000/month for a period of about 9 months.)
