[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are between $25-30K yearly for figure skating, so it sounds like a bargain to me! The majority goes to coaching as it’s all individually coached. She does around four half hour lessons a week and coaches are $100/hr. Ice time and travel make up the majority of the rest. [/quote] What is your annual household income? Lobbyist?[/quote] Interestingly, in my experience in figure skating (where we spend $6000 per year on our 8 year old DD), many of the families involved in figure skating are definitely NOT wealthy (or at least live in very modest homes, have modest clothing, modest cars, etc). Many of the parents are first-generation in the US (often from Russia or China), and really like the sport of figure skating for its discipline, etc. It seems these parents make huge financial sacrifices for their kids to do figure skating. In my experience, the wealthy parents tend to be in sports like lacrosse, tennis, and golf.[/quote]
