Deepak, I have to say I disagree with you. I got into SAP at the age of 48 and now, 15 years later, I am more in demand than ever because I am now an acknowledged expert in my field. I have a friend and colleague who is over 70 and still going strong (also in FI-CO). Age can be a barrier if you let it be, or if applying for a permanent job where employers only want 25 year-olds but with 20 years experience. Maybe they are cheaper than us oldies and maybe an employer thinks we will turn up our toes before he has gotten his money's worth out of us, but as a consultant age, maturity and experience actually seem to be advantages.

Age would be against you. Notwithstanding your talents and experience, you would have to start as a fresher in SAP and most people would hesitate to give a break to a 50+ person. I am not saying this is justified. Just that this perception exists. Many of us (50+ers) find it difficult to get assignments even after having years of experience in SAP. Please understand - all I am saying is that probability of success is low (certainly below 50 %). Nothing is, of course, impossible.
