[quote=Anonymous]We're definitely spending $6k+ on son's sport - including all travel costs for tournaments. We started in the $2k range when he was 8 and it's gradually gone up each year. He's 16. It's likely that he'll play the sport in college. We pay $180 to $100 for private lessons, $300 for weekend clinics, $500+ for 'showcases' so he can be seen be college coaches. Tournaments are now along the east coast, which means flights + car + hotel. Hindsight - it's a very expensive for him and us. We can afford it. The $$ didn't come from any other pot. It's really his identity and he's made life-long friends, and I wouldn't take this adventure away from him. Honestly, there's nothing else he'd rather be doing with his free time, and getting to spend a lot of time with him has formed some strong bonds.[/quote]
