Not much point in saving your entire life and then getting old or dying and not being able to enjoy something in life that you want-- I've been income reinvesting for over 30 years, saving a good portion of my income every year and living well within (or even below) my means-- it doesn't hurt to take some cash out once ever 15 years or so to get yourself a toy.

I'm sure there were financially more prudent ways to do it, but as it is (since I don't have kids), I'm going to have to find a charity I really like before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Yes, I'll get hit with cap gains-- but there are ways to minimize that hit going forward throughout the year.

Not only will you lose money to taxes, there is the opportunity cost of 60K Invested. A low risk portfolio would almost certainly return more than the cost of a 3% loan.
