Lynn329, call me old fashioned but you keep saying about your situation, his money, his paycheck. Are you not partners, does he not want to help you realize your dream. My husands 1 & 2 were both supportive and helped me realize my dream then they too lived well from what I was able to contribute as I am sure your husband will when you have realized your dream. I don't think any age is too old to be learning. You may make it to 90 something, who knows? Go for it!
