Been there. Done that. Epic mistake. I've been in and out of the hobby for nearly 30 years. You chances of it working out are about the same as winning the lottery. The chances of all kinds of things going seriously wrong are near certain. That is why they call this a hobby and not real life. Enjoy the fantasy because trying to make it real life will seriously mess you up.
