If I read correctly, it seems you would sell the 7/8 wt if you were going to buy a lighter rod. If in fact this is the case, keep the rod and fish it where ever and whenever you want, until you can afford to get another, lighter rod. Yes, catching smaller trout on a 7 weight isn't as much fun as it is on a 5, 4 or 3 wt, but it is still fun and there will be a time when you have to spend the money to buy back that 7/8 wt you sold. You will likely never regret having too many rods (I have 18 of them) but there will inevitably come a time when you regret not having enough (I need one more).
