Remember you dont have to do it all at once. I layed sod at the front of my house to get it looking good fast. Then at the side where there were several acres to manage I laid grass seed later on.

My point is that you could clear a bit of the lawn and lay sod so you can use it this summer. Then do the rest later as your budget permits. Just dont let the old lawn creep onto the new.
