How are you doing?

Okay, make a long story short.

My stepdaughter has really been into figure skating since she was 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.

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

And us not going broke.

Man.

She is 14.

Kind of my thinking, it's, you know, more we draw a line in the sand and it's like, this is what we can afford.

And I'm sorry.
