[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not really analogous to quote prices for horses or training to become an F1 driver (which I understand now starts with crazy expensive go kart racing as kids).

On day 1 those sports are expensive.  It’s not as though there are horse rec leagues or F1 go kart rec leagues where you start at $150/season and many of their friends all play and then wrestle with your kid loving the sport and wanting more competition.

Opting to have your kid participate in a massively expensive sport from the start is a parental decision.  It’s not something organic from the kid at least in the DMV, and it’s not something any parent believes will be “cheap”.

It’s no different than trying to make us feel better about our car repairs by telling us about how expensive it is to maintain your McLaren.

I feel like if we were talking about f1 drivers we’d have to talk about the top level rich kids and I think we would be talking about $10m/year. I’m not kidding. A base in Wellington, a base in Europe, whether you’re just buying 5* horses or trying to develop young ones it adds up to the same. [/quote]
