You should carefully consider whether or not an MBA is even worth it. I got to the VP level in software with NO degree at all (just recently went back for my BA just for fun and now I'm doing an MS because I'd like to pursue a PhD). I'm about the same age as you. I see executive assistants all the time with MBAs. When I hire Directors or other VPs, I don't even look at their educational background, I look at their experience and the metrics that they've achieved in their careers.
Unless your employer has told you that there is a pay bump and/or promotion involved with getting your MBA or you want to eventually pursue a DBA or PhD, give it some thought. I'd say the caveat here would be for in-person MBAs, where you can network, although at your age and likely stage of your career, the utility of that is probably low.
