All right, let's go to David in Colorado Springs. Hey, David, welcome to the show.

Good to talk to you guys. How are you doing? Absolutely. We're great. We're glad that you called us, David. How can we help?

Okay. Make a long story short. My stepdaughter has really been into figure skating since she's

about six years old. And about a year and a half ago, she decided she wanted to start competing.

So we're like, well, we'll give it a year, see if she sticks with it, and she really has.

And she started competing last year and is doing great.

The issue is that we are kind of on the low end of spending for this sport,

and it's costing us almost $1,000 a month.

Oh, goodness.

And it just goes up from there.

Having more coaching, working with a physical trainer, starting to travel, having to pay for the coach to travel to competitions.

And we really are probably over our budget with what we're spending now,

but at the same time she really loves

this and we're kind of trying to figure out how do you balance her loving the sport and us

not going broke?

Man.

How old is she now?

She is 14.

Okay.

I've got some unpopular opinions on this that I always get in trouble for.

Can I just put them out there?
