Approximately how costly is airplane ownership? Hangar fees, etc. monthly..I know all fuel, etc. depends on how much you fly, but what is a nice starting number to work from to see if ownership is even smart for you.?

Question from a newbie here..I have not begun to take lessons yet so I am ignorant as to the path that is required..
You have Private Pilot Cert. Instrument rating, Commercial Single Engine Land, Multi-engine rating, and Commercial-instrument Multi-Engine rating..
If you are looking to get commercial-instrument multi-engine rating do you have to do the commerciall single engine land rating first.? What , if any, steps can be skipped.?..or, is it like getting a Masters Degree..you have to have the undergrad before you can start the grad program..?

What would be a good 6 passenger single engine plane.? Of do you have to to to twin engine to get 6 passenger planes.? Something older and readily available for a decent price would be good also..I am not yet buying or anything..Just wondering what to be looking for if I get to that point..

Starting Out / The Flight Training Forum / Some basic questions

I am thinking about becoming a pilot..always wanted to fly when I was growing up, but have been sidetracked for many years..Finally getting back to thinking about it..
Is it best to start with single engine and work up from there.? Are most planes fairly similar.?
If I go through training for single engine, then twin engine..does that translate to helping me if I decide to be a commercial pilot.? Am I too old to start thinking about being an airline pilot.? I am currently 35..
Where is the best place to start looking for training and what is the cost that can be expected from 1st lesson to first solo.?
Theoretically, is formal training required, or just the knowledge and ability to pass the tests.? Basically what I am asking is , If I were smart and talented enough to pass all aspects without formal training would I have a chance at furthering career in aviation.? Or, if I were to get a friend that flies to teach me all I need to know..without any formal training.?/
These are all just questions off the top of my head and not any real plan that I am working on..
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
