Question How old is too old?

I'm a 42 year old male recently made redundant by a large Pharmaceutical company with a generous redundancy package. I'm in excellent health. I have always entertained the idea (in my dreams at least) of being a pilot. I'm an MS Flight Sim junkie for years and I've spent an absloute fortune on making the whole "Sim" experience as realistic as possible. My question is very simple really....am I too old to start pilot training with view to a career in the cockpit? Even if I did manage to qualify would an employer view me as a poor longterm investment?
