It's worth it!
Like many on here, I too have found financing my hour building a tad onerous... but, even though my career is no. 1, few experiences compare to sailing through the clouds. It's just an ubercool way to spend a day.
Of course, there are other incredible experiences we can pursue...try shark diving in the Great Barrier Reef (a whole new take on aerodynamics!)... but the degree of fascination has to do with the individual. You could say, the intrigue is in the eye of the beholder.
Pursuing our interests is just as important as completing our education... because what stimulates our mind, defines who we are.
It's all about perspective, so even if there are times when I can't really afford it; I shalln't ask myself if it's worth it. The day I have to ask myself that question, will be the day I know it no longer is
