Is 34 too late for a career change to pilot?

Hi
Im currently 34 and due to the property market now have over £100K (not prime residence) available to me to invest in my future. I am recently married and hoping for children in the next 4/5 years. My wife and I currently have a joint income of £54K although neither of us are happy doing what we do. I would love to retrain as a pilot and am currently looking at the first officer course by cabair. The long term veiw is for my wife to give up work when children are born and survive on my salary as as FO and then hopefully captain.

I would welcome your veiws on wheher this is a good move?

Paul
