of course it is worth it!
you just need three things:
1. Money
2. Time
3. Support from your partner
No you need 5 things:
1. alot of money
2. alot of time
3. trash the partner, down the line it saves you money and all the drama
4. alot of luck
5. alot of stupidity to go commercial right now

If only you knew how happy I am that I did not pursue this route you would not be arguing. The other day I crossed a young greenie in pilot school uniform on his way to his flight school and I felt very sorry for him.

It is not worth it but if you feel like selling it for whatever interest you have, you should do that and keep people who give real advice based on real facts and realistic analysis outside of your reply because no one cares but your sorry self.

Becoming a pilot is such a short-sighted dream, can you fella' s really imagine doing this for over 30 years and nothing else of your lives?

Your short answer will be yes.
First commute to the airport everyday for 10 years, at the craziest hours, into the same cockpit and eating the same food doing the same job being treated like !!!! by management as usual, with decreasing pay and pension, fearing for every line check and medical, fearing for your job during every downturn and living at your mom' s to repay the debt.

Then come back and we will talk again.
