How did you pay for your CPL?

Im currently at a point in my training where Im considering taking a personal loan or something similar to complete my CPL and an Instructor rating..Ive got about 80 hours to go in my 200 hour course and then of course the instructor rating after that..

Im kinda gettting sick of doing it when I can scrape the cash together and then having loooong breaks between flying and living poor..My current calculations allowing for the usual extras that show up have me borrowing about 35 grand or so.

Im trying to weigh up whether at 33 years of age it better for me to fastrack it somewhat with a loan so that I can start earning (crap) money sooner as I do have an instructing job waiting for me as soon as I can get the quals..I have two subjects of theory to go and figure if I go full bore I could be all done and dusted by later this year..

Im planning on talking to a financial advisor as well, but I am getting impatient and just want it done so i can get going..

Would be keen to hear how you managed to do it...
