I want to clear this up and to be completely sure and not to live in an illusion.
I am 33 years old,I am not a kid and have many responsibilities.
My main goal is to obtain a bachelor degree in physics.
I just cannot spend 3 or 4 years at some place in Europe to study physics regularly.
I saved some money and can afford to attend some physics courses.
Does it make any sense at all.Are there courses which may somehow lead me toward the degree;anywhere in Europe including even online possibilities.

No, there are no courses which would lead one to a degree in physics.

There's no need to go to Europe for a physics degree; most universities offer one. Not all programs are accredited, though.

Are you in the US?
 
Rather than jumping right in, you might want to look for an introductory physics course - a "physics 101." These are often offered as night classes in community colleges and would allow you to take a step in the right direction without forcing you to quit your day job. Once you get through this and some first year math courses, you'll likely have a better idea of whether or not you'll want to pursue an entire degree.
 
Thank you for your answers.Unfortunately,I am not from US,I am from Europe.
