Your situation is different and can happen at 30 40 50 60 or whatever! If you loose that pleasure from flying or have achieved what you want and it all becomes a chore then chuck it in.

We all go through the roller coaster of that! Often you have a bad string of flights or boring flights and wonder what the heck you are doing it all for!

Other times its all the hoops you have to jump through especially with all this new EASA rubbish and the expense and you think about where the pleasure is in doing it all and is it really worth all the grief?

Other times you get a fabulous flight and the enthusiasm kicks in again and off you go again.
But yes if the enthusiasm goes and does not come back then look for something else to light your fire.

flying is a demanding mistress all well and good when she is exciting and new! But when she becomes too demanding and the excitement wears off and it all becomes a chore fulfilling those demands without the excitement then find a new mistress or accept the one you have warts and all
