Buying Points in Small Amounts

At some point, I will be a DVC points owner. But with job stability and the ecomony, it seems very scary to start out with the 160 points they usually require to purchase AKV. So, I was thinking, in resales I always see 50 points available for sale. That would get me limited days per year, but with DH being laid off and in a new job recently, he doesn't have any vacation time accumulated anyways. So, what do you think. The cost of 50 points is a little more than what we usually spend for a vacation, and with us not having vacation time, I can use my vacation money to purchase points. And then steadily build from there, when things are more stable.
