[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guess what [b]COVID19 does not discriminate and it will affect rich and poor the same way[/b]. The rich kid yes has a private trainer whose get paid $50/hr or more. The poor kid has no private trainer but he may be spending the whole day playing free style  with siblings or neighbors even adults.

CAN ANY OF THEM GO AN PLAY a FORMAL GAME TOMORROW? NO![/quote]

Let say you have two kids with similar skills and desire to be good in soccer, are you saying that the kid without private soccer coach/trainer will be just as good as the one with private soccer coach/trainer that he trains with everyday, generally speaking?

Going one step further, have you ever tried to play guitar without a guitar teacher?  I played guitar when I was young without taking any lessons and it took me five years to get to a level where I can OK.  My kid learned guitar with a guitar teacher at $75/hr and he surpassed my guitar level six months after picking up the guitar for the first time.[/quote]

I took it to mean covid is affecting all classes,  i know many surgeons hurting with surgeries that were on hold, lawyers who took big pay cuts,  recently hired physicians let go. Retirement funds dwindling. [/quote]

I guess the people you know are not wealthy after all  :(

People in my neighborhood of Potomac MD are conducting their lives the same way like it is just before the pandemic with a few modifications.  We're still paying for private soccer lessons and private physical conditioning except that the soccer and conditioning coaches are now coming to our places to train our kids at four times a week.  A few people in the neighborhood have their salaries reduced but you have to put it in context.  One person makes 1.5M before the pandemic and his salary is now reduced by 20% so he is still making 1.2M and that he does not have a mortgage payment.  three hours of soccer lessons a day is  $2400/month is not a lot a whole lot to them.

My 2 months vacation in Europe for a family of five got cancelled so I  use that money for my kids soccer training during the pandemic.[/quote]

The comment that i highlighted and replied to from the PP above said covid does not discriminate between RICH and POOR. Not wealthy and poor. I understand the difference.

Thanks for adding your 2 cents though unrelated at this point in time. Perhaps the money and finance forum would make you more at home?
