Pilotkye, its not what you want to hear, but study hard go to University, enjoy it get a decent job.
Build some equity, then and only then start training, it can be done Modular, £60K is not enough, I would have thought nearer £100,000. In fact I spent much much more.
If it helps, I got the bug at age 11, flying to Toyko over the pole, 18 hours on a JAL 747-100/200 in 1981. I spent some time in the flight deck the guest of the flight crew. When I was 16 I had a lesson, at Barton in Manchester, I did not go to uni and got on with my life. When I was in my early 30's I started my PPL, it developed into what I have now.
I got my first job when I was 37
There are no shortcuts, it is long and arduous, just don't expect a quick fix. You will be a better pilot for it.
Good Luck
