When in doubt, just do!
I was reading a textbook for a business class (I should be studying right now) and came across this. We've answered this question before, and now we have academic research to back it up! Should you go?
"Although we often regret actions in their immediate aftermath, over time regrets over actions decline markedly, whereas regrets over missed opportunities increase. For example, you finally decide to take that trip to Europe. You had an amazing time, but a few weeks after you get back, your credit card bill arrives- and it isn't pretty. Unfortunately, you have to work overtime and miss a few dinners out with friends to pay off the bills. A few months down the road, however, you decide to reminisce by looking through your photos from the trip, and sure enough you can't imagine never having gone. So, when in doubt, just do!"

Haha... nice. It's "Organizational Behavior, 12th Edition" (p176).

Just read this. Those are my thoughts exactly. I'll take positive life altering experiences over debt anyday (kinda like going to college and facing your student loans later).
Thanks for posting this, bro !
P.S. And, Rob, whe are you going to high-tail it over to Europe?! Make it happen! Now !
