I was 30 yo when i realised the truth in the phrase "you only live once". I too was tired of my position and future, although i was earning a comfortable wage and managed my own business it wasn't satisfying.

I borrowed against my property and used all available resources to finance a CPL MECIR and am now trudging through my ATPL subjects. I am also looking at my first paying gig!

I can tell that this is something that you have essentially already made your mind up about and are seeking a little reassurance that you are making the right decision. Well the truth is there is only 1 decision to make...and that is to do it!

I have borrowed to the hilt, stressed my wife to tears, doubted my ability and prospects of ever getting work, felt stupid, tired and overwhelmed....but it is absolutely worth it. Like you, I cannot accept the possibility of getting to 40 and telling my self "I wish i did it when i had the chance"
