Way I see it, the only way to justify getting into a piston single again would be retire and take on some sort of job that requires travel w/ stays from overnight to a week or so every month roughly, where you're either your own boss in a consulting capacity or on contract as consultant under an LLC or other firm. Only then does the capability of a solid single like a Mooney M20K 252 or better start to be justifiable financially, and even then it's still a close contest against an airline boarding pass, with the boarding pass winning most of the time. And then there's winter climate and the more complex wx beyond capabilities and boom you're buying an airline ticket while your expensive to operate bird sits snug in the hangar...
