Francie,
I'm in a similar position. Aged 33, have a good job and £15k saved. I'm thinking of completing my training over the next 3 years (modular) and staying employed until CPL/IR.
I think you're in a great position, go for it!

Thanks

To bring this back on track one of the other biggest problem of CPL students is the fact they waste their hour building.
Hour building is there to improve and practise skills.
Your paying for these hours so flying the same route without improving your skills is a huge waste of money.
Hour building is there to improve and practise skills.
- Make sure you practise all the different landing, normal, flapless, short field, glide.
- Practise your PFLs
- Practise your Dead reckoning Navigation
- Practise your stalls, steep turns, slow flight etc
- Use a radar service every time so your familiar with the procedures
- Practise your VOR/NDB tracking and position fixing.
