Airline Pilot Missing GA Flying

Hey yall! I’m currently a 737 CA for a US 121 and I miss general aviation like crazy. My buddy took me up in a 172 the other day on an overnight and there’s something freeing about being able to hop in an airplane and go wherever you, and do whatever you want. I miss it, but don’t enjoy the idea of owning one as it’s just a money pit. I’ve thought of CFIing again on the side as well, but I don’t want to take the job of a CFI trying to get their hours.

Anyone here part of a flight club? One where you have share of the airplane and pay a monthly fee then only pay for fuel or tac or whatever else? Is it worth it? Cost breakdown between owning yourself vs a club? Thanks!
