And I think this is really good for.
podcast-host
people that frequently travel.
podcast-host
There's a lot of different things you can get on that card that I really, really like.
podcast-host
But the thing is I don't get is this $1800.
podcast-host
So I would look into that because I don't know anything about the Marriott Boundless card, but I don't see a world where it costs $1,800 in interest if you're paying it off every month.
podcast-host
Yeah, I don't like it at all because I feel like it puts people in a position where they're living beyond their means.
podcast-host
Because I'm not saying travel sports are a scam absolutely, but many of these national clubs and these larger clubs, they use high sales tactics, they use fear of missing out FOMO on the parents because they're trying to build this illusion of fake elite status for their
podcast-host
kids to get those kids to believe they're gonna have this absolute path to college scholarship and maybe pro sports.
podcast-host
And it really bugs me thinking about me coming up in baseball and basketball into college sports when I played and all of that because you know we had one bat, we had one mitt, we had our own helmet and maybe we had one uniform and I see these kids and I see this content now.
podcast-host
They're showing up with
podcast-host
With bat bags and gloves and sliding gloves and five pairs of cleats and all that.
podcast-host
And I just think it's one of those really bad situations where parents feel pressured to keep up with the Joneses, and it's who can spend the most on this stuff to try and elevate their kid to the next level of sports.
podcast-host
So I don't think it's good for any family financially unless they're already very wealthy, because it just
podcast-host
costs so much relative to what you gain for the child in the sports.
podcast-host
And I definitely don't want to see parents putting this on credit cards or carrying debt that they can't afford to keep these kids in these programs.
podcast-host
Well, I'm not hating on anyone.
podcast-host
Let's get this r straight.
podcast-host
I just know that in the history of sports, usually it's the people that show up with all the best gear that have the least talent.
podcast-host
And all I'm saying is stay within your budget, stay within your means.
podcast-host
And if Billy or Amy or Sally have really good talent, guess what?
