Go for it
I started my PPL a couple of years ago and got 43 hours so skill test when my instructor comes back from hols.
Started at Uni with no money, paid for flying as i went along and love every minute of it. It's more satisfying knowing you're doing it cos you love it and working hard for it.
Big piece of advice - DONT LET THE FLYING TAKE PRESIDENCE OVER THE GROUND SCHOOL - i learned that the hard way when some of them elaspsed to do time and had to resit.
Good luck
