my wrestler is the youngest of 5. If I added up what was spent on him and his sisters activites: wrestling,bastketball,baseball,football,soccer, track,swimteam, gymnastics,dance,drama team, art classes,softball, piano,guitar,flute, clainet and trumpet... WOW. I could live in one of the nicest houses in the county if I had saved all that $. Instead, I have 5 well rounded, active, healthy kids! 3 of them scholarshipped: 1 for dance (as a math major), 1 for art (as a math major), and 1 for track and dance (as a math major). Is it worth it? YES! My youngest is definitely my most expensive. He wants to do all his own things PLUS what his sisters did (except dance LOL). Money is tight for everyone. But be careful you don't let the kids know too much if you are stressing about it. If they feel guilty about what you are spending on them, it will reverse everything you are doing it for.
