Just to add. Training is always more expensive than it's made out to be.
There's things like books, headset, uniform (if the school insists), living costs, extra lessons and even type rating.
So if you decide to get a loan (which I recommend), take out a bit more than planned.
And age is definitely a factor for first jobs in this industry. You just have to read what people post on this forum to see that for yourself. I would say anything above 40 years old really reduces your chances.
