So, I was thinking about this and feel like i need some opinions.

I run a website. I want to add a feature to my website that is complicated. It's going to require knowledge in flash (which i have no experience with), php, and some other stuff that I really couldn't do myself.

What is the better option...?

Learn what i need and try pulling this off by myself which will require time learning the program(s), buying the programs if need be, and then incorporating it all together and make it look nice and customer friendly.

or

paying someone to do it = $$$$$$

Obviously if i had sufficient funds I'd lean towards paying someone to do it, but lets pretend I have 0 funds. Would it make more sense to save (by working a j.o.b.) and pay someone to do it eventually, or put in the hours and possible money on programs to do it myself.

Thoughts?
