Not really, I also was dreaming about it "for ever". I already gave up on it
and decided on a different career. Then I got a chance to go for it after
all! Though it was really hard work to get there and still is to just make a
living. If you cannot afford to do it for fun it takes something away from
it all. Sure, it is satisfying to be able to work in your dream job, but it
happens very seldom that you are able to take your family along or go with
them just for the fun of it. Still, if I only would/could do it for fun only
I would have never gotten to the skill level where I am now.....

As mentioned, I would like to build the plane for the fun of building.....
