I think you hit the nail on the head by saying you owe it to yourself. This shows me that you value, maybe even prioritize your job / career / skills enough to make the investment. And that is great! Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling people not to learn. I'm trying to tell people to get to think about why they are learning, it should be because of an alignment in your own live priorities, not because that's just what you need to do when you are a software engineer.
