I'm pretty convinced that in order to be a good pilot, be it student or no, you have to frequently practice. The once a month pilots tend to find their way into accident reports.

I'll be 55 next week and I retired a few years ago. There was no way I had the time when the kids were home and I was working. But I wish I had started earlier, I think it would have been easier as my vision, hearing , and motor skills ain't what they use to be.
I set aside 3 days a week, and it seams like I've been lucky to get in two days with the weather. And when I took a few weeks off for vacation it set me back a little. As I said, its taken me 6 months with 3 days a week set aside, 1 day a month would be tough.
I would consider getting the written out of the way and go to one of the schools that have the accelerated program. Get it in two or three weeks.
