[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are kids activity expenses which I guess you can tell me is crazy and you all don’t spend this much for kids activities.

Kid 1: $275/mo. swim, plus appx. $200 each fall and spring for rec sport. (May not continue swimming next year for interest reasons)
Kid 2: $275/mo. swim, plus appx. $1000 each fall & spring for travel sport (but seriously considering switching back to rec only next season for not being worth it for talent reasons)
Kid 3: $300/mo. dance; $160 mo. gymnastics

There is also an $50/mo. instrument rental for a kid. [/quote]

That’s a lot of money and time. I’d tell each kid they can do one elite activity at a time. Like you can do winter/club swim or travel sports but not both. You can do competitive dance or gymnastics but not both.

How are you able to even drive everyone?[/quote]

Fair point and I take it. And that is a good way to put it to the one who we may be counseling out of one travel sport so thank u. 
We do a lot of carpooling and the 2 parents divide and conquer. [/quote]

I did just text spouse this for next year. So already making changes!!  Waiting for answers on interest rates… [/quote]
