Welcome to FCC community!
You are definitely not too old to learn. I have a day or two, or maybe several years on you, and just began learning coding. And, I love it!
You will find you have great support in the FCC Forum community. Everybody helps each other.
One thing is people do, or should not , provide direct answers to lessons. This defeats the purpose of learning, and really cheats the person out of learning the code. But, you will find great guidance, especially, from some of the more experienced learners and the Leaders/Moderator, or FCC Staff.
No question is ever stupid, nor dumb. Code is not easy, but it is rewarding.
Happy coding!

Welcome to the community 
Your never to old to learn.
I’ve seen posts by people learning in their 80s here on freeCodeCamp.
The community is full of people from all stages of life.
The hardest thing about learning to code is starting and being consistent.
It wont be easy… but the sooner you start, the sooner you will be able to do freelancing work

Welcome!
There are literally 80 year old programmers. There’s no such thing as being too old for programming!
Take these two examples:
