Possible newbie figuring it out

Hi guys and girls, some of you may have seen my questions on FB but I wanted to try and get some more input. I have wanted to drive my entire life (my grandfather was a driver) but life/kids happened and I never went through with it. However, I am at a point in my life where I am ready for a change and figured I should try to fulfill my dream...if it is financially feasible. I am a single parent (ages 35, 28, and 16, only the youngest is still at home) so mine is the only income. I know the first year is hard financially until you have built the trust with your dispatchers to get miles, paid your dues, learn and learn and learn, etc. My question is, since I don't have a second income in my house to fall back on, am I crazy for wanting to do this and risking losing my home and everything I've worked 30 years for? I know I can cook on the truck and do other things to cut expenses while out on the road but, would it be enough? I've researched the CDL A training classes for Roehl and Prime. Any input you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Tell me what I need to hear, not what you think I want to hear.

Thanks!
