Is 32 a realistic age to start training?

I started briefly in my mid twenties but unfortunately had to stop.

Now I can easily find the capital and keep my business running/ making money while I train so I can afford to take a 1/2 months off a few times a year.

My concerns are as follows..

- Is there an modular route that would allow me quickly achieve my PPL in the US and to hour build in the UK. This may be more expensive but if I can stay closer to home my business is less likely to suffer.

- Could you detail the difficulty and time needed to pass the ground exams.

- Is age a problem and if it is what can I do to improve my chance. How much will it cost to achieve my CPLH and hour build plus get my IR rating.
