[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do you OP.  What if your kid is a soccer or dance or basketball phenom and you were too cheap to explore their interest, when you could afford it?  So sad, there is a balance you can strike.  My child has a fantastic life, is well rounded and gets the joy out of exploring various sports and hobbies.  I have a high net worth and don't have to budget what I spend.  I would rather give my child excellent experiences  and think about it as enriching their life.[/quote]

The likelihood that OP’s kid is phenomenal at anything is zero and OP already knows it. I think it’s good that OP had already realized that his kids aren’t worth extensive investment— the money can then be put elsewhere.

Lol as if the typical UMC white kid is ever going to be in the NBA or go to the World Cup, most of your kids are destined to be pencil pushing cogs like the rest of us. Delusional to think spending hundreds of thousands on enriching activities will lead to a significantly different outcome. [/quote]

You aren’t clued. People spend thousands of dollars on youth sports so that their kid can get a recruited athlete spot at an elite college, or to get an athletic scholarship, but usually the former. You do NOT need to be an Olympic-level athlete to get a recruiting likely letter, not even close. [/quote]
