But given my nature, I would do the foolish (?) thing and simply put the money on the line of credit and get 'er done!
I certainly adopted that approach when learning to fly. (Well - I didn't make any pension payments that year). It came to the top of my bucket list in 2010 when 4 friends/colleagues all announced diagnoses with cancer. I booked 3 lessons a week to get it done. Weather that winter allowed for just one a week on average and Feb was killer when the weather closed in and there was simply no flying - no matter how I worked my schedule to get a lesson - they were all cancelled. Talk about frustrated.
The MOST worthwhile flight clocked me at 1,000 hours exactly. The friend least expected to survive had beaten the odds and predictions for 4 years. She called to say she would like to go flying and we knew it was her way of saying goodbye. She carefully juggled her painkillers to create a lucid and pain free couple of hours. We spent a wonderful late afternoon in the air.

You can't put a price on that.
