I also know of a guy who said 'screw it' and took out a loan. He got himself in a position with his budget where he could make the monthly payments and went for it.

In the meantime, I wish you all the very best with your efforts to make this happen.
This article reminded me of the conversations here about saving for something so meaningful.

A "spending fast"!!!! I love it!
