I am keeping a running tally on all the costs associated with my kids participation in youth sports. The NBC Today Show says the average family spends $2000 per year on youth sports. They list 10 cost saving ideas to save you money.
I started my tally March 1, 2010. I have already spent $2,800. March is the month we get hit with travel baseball fees and select soccer fees.
Keeping track of youth sports expenses is a smart way to understand where your budget goes. I found that while investing in my kids' activities, I also had to juggle my own studies and work commitments. During one particularly busy season, I started looking into options like Take my nursing class for me because it helped me manage my academic responsibilities while staying present for my family. Finding the right balance between education, finances, and family life can make a huge difference.
