Paying out of pocket for my masters degree?

Question

To those of you who may or may not have paid out of pocket for any degree, is it worth it? I have my bachelors and thankfully did not pay a dime because of TA, however, pursuing my MBA with my current school will require me to pay roughly 400 out of pocket per class even with TA.

Is it financially worth it to accept the partial out-of-pocket expense at my current university or would it be more advisable to pursue a comparable, fully TA-covered graduate program elsewhere?
