Tell me again what the cost are...

You probably shouldn't pursue music

There's a lot of risk in trying to follow your dreams of being a musician. You should probably play it safe and pursue something more comfortable.
There's a chance things things might not work out the way you planned or thought they would. Maybe you should save your time and not even give it a shot.
Saying no to hanging with friends so you can spend hours a day perfecting your craft is a drag. Maybe you should just work only as hard as everyone else and coast for a bit.
You'll definitely have to go through times of not making a lot of money. If you get a stable job, you'll be able to buy that T.V. you were looking at. (don't even get me started
about the crappy car you may have to drive)
Right now being successful in music, or even functioning, means probably having to travel on the road and being away from your friends and significant other for a bit. That sucks, it's probably not worth it.
Most careers have a clear path that if you follow it (certain amount of schooling, intern and work your way up) you'll find success. Music IS NOT one of these. That means uncertainty, and you probably don't want to deal with that.

...or maybe you're one of the few willing to take the risk, recognize the cost and follow your dreams.
