It is expensive, though at this point I feel like I've already invested so much that I need to finish my degree so that it wasn't all a waste. One thing that's kinda depressing is knowing that I'll only make slightly more with a master's degree than I am making now, but I do believe that my long-term income potential will be better with the degree. Also, my previous coursework did help me land my current job, so I have gotten something out of it even without having the degree yet. I think if I could go back and start all over, I'd probably choose a higher-paying field, but now that I'm so far into it, I don't want to change directions and have to start again at the beginning with another field.
One thing that's kinda funny is that even though I'm "taking a break from school," I've still been taking foreign language classes. I'm such a nerd that I can't even go two semesters without taking some sort of class!
