Jack;

You're nuttier than a fruit cake, but I hear ya. I'm in a similar situation. Making decent $ in IT with a stable job, wife, two kids but trying to plug away at flying. I turned 42 the day you turned 45 (happy birthday). I got my "green light" to get my PPL on my 40th from my kind wife. She HATES flying.

Anywho, after having dreams of taking out a $60K loan for a "zero-to-hero" program, I came back down to earth and realized that putzing around my local patch and eventually getting my CFI isn't such a bad plan. I'm now on my local airport advisory board and spend as much time as I can at the airport.

Hang in there and take it a little at a time.

Tom
