Rick's right, as usual. Get a private pilot certificate through an FBO or a flying club until you know for sure that you really like flying. Most people do not have the money to be throwing it around prior to knowing if they really like flying. An FBO provides the most expedient means to clarify the issue without a serious commitment of finances up front. And if you have the money to be throwing it around with no regard for whether you really like aviation then I do not think any amount of reason will stop you from doing so anyway.
