Don't do it. You will be committed to spending all your hard earned savings on flying and lessons and maybe you will eventually buy an aeroplane that you can't afford. Your wife and family will starve and sit at home sulking while you are away having fun. If you are single you will believe that all the girls will fall for you when you are a pilot, but you won't have the time/money to be interested and you will smell of aviation fuel from the fuel tester you carry in your pocket. You will spend even more money on gadgets like GPS which will cause quarrels between you and the 'old timers' in the cafe. You will eat nothing but bacon sandwiches for your lunch. When you have qualified your friends will want free flights but will be scared when they get to your aircraft, however people will think that you are rich. You will scare yourself a few times doing things that you never tell anyone else and you will NEVER need to know what a red flare or a flashing green lamp means.
Have a good time anyway, good flying 'cos I know you will do it.
