I mean, heck, you can waste your money if you want, but I am a lot older and a lot faster on wheels that are 1/4 the cost of wheels you are considering.
Why don't you save your money or put it in the college fund or buy your wife something nice which will give you much greater dividends and train with greater focus, ride with faster guys and get used to getting dropped and change your diet to get lean and strong. Otherwise you will just be another out of shape middle aged guy on a fancy set of wheels getting passed by older fit guys with $300 wheels.
You didn't get the memo, it ain't about the bike.
And if you think this isn't reality, I ride with one guy who is 72 years old who rides an average carbon Felt road bike with stock aluminum wheels and he can sustain 22 mph in no wind for 50 miles. A different set of wheels for him, me or you wouldn't amount to a hill of beans.
