Should I or Should I not?

I realise that I am setting myself up to get a bit of abuse here as it is a long running and tiring question but to be honest no one that i can see has came up with a real definative answer.
I am 45, ran the family business for the last 20 years (wishing I had taken the pilot route when I was younger) passed all my ATPL's with 95% av 1st time passes.
Last Summer I started my CPL (decided to do CPL before my MEP/IR) but one of the major contracts my business had ended due to the company going down finacially and I pulled out of my CPL to stabalise the business, which I have done. As I have said before, I wish I had trained in my early 20's as flying is something since the age I could speak have been intrigued with.
So the question is Am I told old and should forget my lifelong dream or should I carry on as "Life is Too Short and all that"? I do know there are a few bitter pilots out there!!
