All input much appreciated folks. So, PPL it is and buy my own A320!
Keep your job and buy a cheap fighter (or military trainer)!
At 55 you will become a jet fighter pilot without having to kill anybody, best of the best if you ask me.
Buy a Mig 21 instead of an Airbus, first it's more realistic (the price of your CPL/IR/TR), second it's much cooler.
Flying with your Mig 21 will look so much better than joining the p2f army!
And when you won't be able to pay for maintenance anymore, you 'd still be able to sell it the same price!
