[quote=Anonymous]Man - I can't believe how little you all spend on activities! My 8th graders travel soccer club is $2300 not incl the travel tournaments and uniform every 2 years.  Her piano is another just shy of $4k annually for 45 min weekly lessons and that's not incl any tutoring at $100/hr - she's straight A student though :) my other kid a Soph has less expenses given HS sports but summer for us is being a nonstop ATM since he takes classes he likes and soon the car and insurance costs will kick in.

Our mortgage is nothing compared to what we spend on kids esp over summers.

We can afford it but let's just say that they take pretty much everything.  But here's the thing - why wouldn't we spend it on our kids you know?

My soccer player plays at a high level and the piano is pretty serious so it's not like it's going to waste? She truly loves both and I strongly believe that while it's a lot, it's really helped her academically and socially.  Money well spent to me is better than no down and no gain.
