On a tangentially related subject (barely)….I was talking to my neighbor. Pretty much just an acquaintance, but we’re chatting over some beers, and I get the normal “do you ever work?” kind of comments, which is fine, and I roll with it and say “well, sometimes”.
Anyway, he was telling me about the travel sports his kids play. Holy cow, it added up to a lot of money. Well into the five figures. Kids, I get it, spend everything on them, but heck, my parents weren’t broke, but all I got for sports was the $5 registration fee at the local little league field, and an admonishment to “just walk it off” when that damn ball nearly took me out.
I’m going to step outside and shake my fist at some clouds now….
