37 years old and considering flight training in the US

Hi,

I am looking for some guidance around whether it would be worth undertaking flight training at my age. I am slightly concerned I may be too old to start now.

On the upside, all going well pilots can fly till the age of 65. On the downside, the cost, especially with a family can be quite high and i need to decide whether continuing with my corporate career or making the shift.

If I do decide to undertake flight training it would be in the USA. My main motivation would be due to the cheaper comparative cost. Ideally the East Coast is preferred so that it is cheaper and easier to commute.

So....

1) Am i too old?
2) Recommended flight schools. Good all round training and cost.
