[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have written about my financial regrets on kids sports threads, but since this is anonymous, here we go. My daughter's figure skating was oppressively expensive. As in thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in ice time, coaching, off ice, travel, dresses, skates ($1800 per pair and replaced at least 2x per year), etc. I never added it up because it was so much but at one point we were in very bad debt. She got sick with several autoimmune diseases and had to stop skating, and we are finally trying to get our heads above water. We live in a townhouse, drive old cars, etc., but we made many financially irrational decisions because my kid was talented and dreamed about the Olympics.[/quote] maybe your daughters body also started braking down from the relentless sports schedule. Probably a good thing at the end of the day for both of you to pump the breaks on noting but a fantasy. [/quote]
