here's another option:
enroll in a local community college photo program(or another class, say 1x/week you can enjoy), and once you have your student i.d. card, march over to adobe and demand the student discount . Many community colleges here in the USA(at least the ones I've attended locally) carry Adobe products in the "student store". If you're a student w/ an active student id, you can get it for the student-level pricing. Its the only way I could afford CS4 at the time it came out... And its still way more than I need 95% of the time

EDIT: you don't have to remain a student from semester to semester, you can do a semester/term, get a class and a copy of your new PS upgrade(for a nice discount), and be on your merry way! "Rinse, dry, repeat" so to speak, every 2-3yrs or how often you want/need to "upgrade".
