I think most astronomical societies have a telescope loan facility for members, eg. the ASV offer 8" Dobs for members for a very nominal fee. The cost of membership would be considerably less than buying a scope and would allow you access to a decent sized scope for a number of months, and the wisdom of the members. During this period you can save for a "proper" scope and not waste money on a "toy" in the interim.
I am sure there will be a society in your area.
