Nobody can say for sure when the best time to train is. For you it might be now.
Generally though I would say it is well worth trying to get your timing right. You have a very small window at the culmination of your £70k training course when you are fully up to speed and ready for a first job type rating and line training. As the months roll on you get rusty very very quickly and your rapidly acquired skills rapidly diminish.
Spend a year or two or even three without doing some demanding flying and frankly you'll be rubbish compared to those competing for the same job who are fresh out of training.
THAT is your problem and THAT is why it is desireable to keep your powder dry and enter the first job market is not at a great time then at least not as a disaster time like 1991/2/3/4. Which is where I think we are right now.
Why not quietly get on with a PPL and IMC rating and start distance learning the ATPLs whilst building some hours in the logbook. Take 24 months doing so before you commit to exams and CPL's and Multi ratings. In the meantime continue to save. At least it will allow you to pay for an additional Instructors rating or SSTR on a commercial type.
Being in a hurry to get basic training done is a bit pointless at the moment.
