I'm 27 years old with an Economics BA, is it too late for me to switch to Mathematics?

The last 2 years have been very difficult for me, finishing with a very late BA in an area that I really don't like. I found a decent job in clinical trials as a data coordinator, but I was always fascinated with maths and found myself performing quite well in the classes that I managed to get accepted in during my BA (Multivariable Calculus, College Linear Algebra and Analysis). I have been thinking for the last year whether I want to pursue mathematics on a Graduate level (Ph.D and all), but since I turned 27 last month, I'm wondering whether it is already too late, and that I won't really be successful in the field.

Do you guys think that it is still a road worth taking? I was planning on accumulating more math courses at an undergrad level before taking on a Masters, then a PhD...which would take so much time it makes my head spin and scares me to no end.

Thank you.
