as many times as you can,

Make each flying lesson about 1.5 Hr long fly twice a day if you can and 5 times a week,
if possible.

I got my ticket in the mid 90's for about 3 grand. I did it in just a few months flying as often as I could in an old C152 that a local FBO had for rent along with a young college student CFI who was instructing to buiid hours.
I think the plane back then was about $45/hr wet and the instructor was $20/hr.
I never took an "official" ground school and basically only paid for about 45 hours of airplane rental and about 20 hours of instructor time.
Check all the small local airports (the smaller the better) to see who is offereing instruction. You do not want to take lessons in controlled airspace as it will waste expensive hobbs time that is better spent learning the basics of "learning to fly the airplane".
IMO, there is no reason to rent a "new" expensive Cessna when one is learning the basics. Learning basic airmanship in a four seat glass paneled airplane is simply a fancy way to light $100 bills on fire.
Find a C150/152 or an older Cherokee or an older C172 to take lessons in.
