Well, I think you are maybe finding out why there are so many questions from people like me in their thirties and forties about whether we can still make flying our career.

I never had much going for me aviation wise, and never had any money until the last couple of years... so flying has really had to wait until now.

I would suggest that you try and get a decent job, IT seems to be popular, and save like heck for the next few years. You can hang out at the airport and try and help out, or join a flying club and get occasional lessons when you can afford it.

Flying is expensive, but worth it. 2000 quid to get to solo should be possible, and that kind of money is not unobtainable with a reasonable job, even when you are quite young.

Keep at it. Good luck.
