There are 24 hours in a day. You say you work 16. That leaves 8. I assume you sleep 6. That leaves 2 hrs to eat, shower and do chores. So in your spare time your blogging? Loser.

I don’t pay for lessons and I’m not whining. I’m agreeing with you in saying that I hate whiners. If you want something work hard for it. If that includes extra job then do it.


So you carrying on about how hard you all work to provide for your kids in a discussion about expensive soccer and you are not paying for lessons? What is the point of you pretending that you bust your ass to pay for your player? Go away.


What does paying for lessons have to do with travel soccer? The more you post the more I realize that you haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.

You’re mad. Bawahaa


If you don't understand the costs involved in competitive youth soccer, you are the one without a clue.


I understand the cost of everything. Your choice.


no one has to choose ecnl or gda now gal soccer but the costs control how this product works and who buys it. I have watched plenty of players go through both and understand the product. People make a living from selling this and are ardent defenders of the system.

You don’t need to believe me. I’m not trying to convince you. In fact, don’t believe me to your hearts content. Doesn’t effect my life one bit.

However, let me tell you something most people don’t learn growing up in their bubble wrapped echo chamber in the DMV.

There are many people who double their pay by working lots of overtime. There are plenty of blue collar people making 150,000 - 200,000 based on their effort and desire to have more. That money comes from consistently working 12-16 hour days. It comes from sacrifice.

There are plumbers making as much as lawyers. Only difference is the plumber has to work twice as much to earn the same income.

There are lots of ways to get money….if you’re willing to sacrifice.

Some people are cut from a different cloth.


Oh shut up. God your self righteousness is nauseating.


It’s not self righteousness. It’s facts that you’re uncomfortable with.


I’m glad I’m not you then. I was raised to work smarter not longer. I admire your work ethic I guess, but too bad you never had time to spend with your family.


Don’t be sad for me. I’m not an absentee father. I’m a working father.

We do agree on one point. I tell my kids all the time - If you want to make money - Get a good education with a marketable degree or learn a trade and make the same money worker longer hours.

The choice is theirs - but it won’t be because of a lack of opportunity on my part.

Adulting 101 - Provide


Nobody is sad for you.

But working 16 hours a day you must have to text them that parental advice.

I'm also glad that you believe working 16 hours a day is a privilege and the American dream because our economy requires you to believe it. Quality life you're living. I'm sure you have stuff though.


Privilege is the wrong word, used improperly here and elsewhere entirely too much. Privilege is what you are given. Demand for your services is what you earn. There are plenty of people with some forms of privilege who see immense variation in the demand for their talent. It is indeed a benefit of living here that talented people may have the choice to earn more money by working more. If you don't view demand for your labor as a benefit, you don't understand the absence of opportunity historically in this country for some people and in some eras, or the absence of opportunity in other parts of the world, and the impact it has on families. And neither will your kids. And mine will see them from the passing lane. Enjoy your familial descent down the ladder of mobility.


Says the guy working 16 hours a day.


Says a different poster. You don’t understand work ethic and upper mobility. Ask your local nurse how many double shifts she does to earn money. The fact that working 16 hours in unbelievable to you says a lot.


It is time spent. It is time away. If you are spending 16 hours a day at work and don't own the company then you are not being properly compensated in the first place. It isn't about work ethic, it is about who owns every waking moment of your day. If you have to work 16 hours a day what do you have of your own autonomy.

If the only time you are home is simply to sleep then you are owned. You don't even have your own time to yourself.


It’s about work ethic. Either You don’t understand how people get ahead or you’re not willing to put in the work to get ahead.


You're not getting ahead if you spend 16 hours a day at the job.

If you need to work 16 hours a day to "get ahead" then you are woefully undercompensated.


You don’t understand getting ahead. Getting ahead of your current situation. Even Millionaires can get ahead.
