Don't let fear stand in the way of your dreams!!!
How ever.....Have a side line vocation that should be used in an emergency. A pilot should never get into a situation where he is totally dependent on the income from flying....especially at the ages that we are talking about as it is tough in the beginning!!!
Any issue that can cause you to stop earning a salary off flying will put you on the back foot and you will need to have an income to keep the wheels of life turning...especially if you are a family man. I started at 43 with wife and 3kids in tow, I now have have a good job flying and a side line that is my back up and pension booster!! (3yrs later) and loving it!!!
