New here.
G'day Roadrunna. Hope you enjoy your flying. As for the age thing, it may be just a matter of what you want to do (Will GA satisfy you?) and how badly you want to fly for a job.
Me - TIF at 41, CPL by 42 and 9 years later over 4500 hrs made up of instructing and charter; couldn't be happier with my mid-life crisis!
Hope your flying story turns out the way you want it to, but beware, as somebody has already said, it's addictive!!!

Wow, your first TIF at 41 and a CPL within 1 year, that's quite impressive. I'm hoping to
complete my PPL in around 7 months, if that doesn't sound like a realistic time frame let me
know your thoughts. I have heard of some people completing it in a month or two full time,
which sounds crazy to me given that you have to learn so much and be competent in such
a short space of time.
I had my first lesson today, it went really well. Tommorrow I'll be doing straight
and level.
cheers.

Well done RR,
Looking forward to hearing more about your course as you progress.
As for you RAVAN, good on you, makes my mid life crisis at 38 seem a little less extreme. I'm hoping to sell my (IT) business in the next couple of years and progress to flying for a more enjoyable way of earning pocket money. I'd be interested where/how you did it, especially seeing as how we are both older students, but if you are shy about posting it feel free to PM me.
Onwards and Upwards Roadrunna - keep us posted.
Cheers,
Euca

Congrats on catching the flying bug roadrunna, you'll never regret it mate.
Always remember to just ask questions if you're not sure. Aside from that, the main thing is to have fun and just enjoy it.
Once again good luck with your ambitions...
