    From Uniforms to Hotels: The True Price Tag of Youth Athletics

    Youth sports can be priceless for confidence and teamwork, but the price tag is anything but small. We sit down to get honest about the true cost of youth sports for families, from the “we need it by tomorrow” moments to the long-term reality of club fees and travel. Jason Taylor, a certified financial planner, joins Julie Schwenzer, and we also hear from Jason’s daughter Violet on what surprises athletes most when the bills start rolling in. We talk real numbers and real friction points: a $400 uniform and tournament payment, mandatory practice jerseys, and how frequent uniform changes can kill the hand-me-down strategy. Then we dig into travel team expenses, including tournament hotels that can run roughly $150 to $280 per night, plus those unclear coach reimbursements that show up after you thought you’d already paid. We also answer the question families always ask about tax deductions for sports and share the narrow scenario where a sports-oriented camp or daycare may help. From there, we zoom out to financial planning: how to forecast costs early by talking with coaches and parents, how to cut equipment spending with used gear and off-season shopping, and how to balance sports with bigger priorities. Jason breaks down the massive gap between school sports and club sports, and we share smarter ways to train without paying premium prices. We wrap with a practical take on fundraising and why kids should be the ones doing the asking so they build skills that last long after the season ends. Subscribe, share this with a parent who needs it, and leave a review if it helps you plan ahead. To learn more about MyPocketFP visit: https://www.MyPocketFP.com MyPocketFP

    The Real Cost of College: What Students Don’t See Coming

    College is full of “firsts” and a lot of them come with a price tag you don’t see until it hits your account. We sit down with Jason Taylor, certified financial planner and creator of MyPocketFP, plus his college-bound daughter Olivia, to get honest about what students actually need to know before they step onto campus. Julie guides the conversation through the real decisions that shape a student’s financial life, not just the big tuition number. We start with the cornerstone: building a budget that matches real student spending. Jason shares why a written budget matters at every age, and Olivia talks through the expenses already on her radar like gas, food, and the cost of having a car at school. From there, we get practical about credit cards, why “free” sign-up perks can become expensive fast, and how seeing interest in black and white changes behavior. If you’ve ever wondered how to teach credit card basics without fear tactics, you’ll get a clear approach here. We also dig into the part most families skip: communication. Olivia explains why some teens avoid thinking about money and the future, and Jason shares what happens when money skills never get installed early. We wrap with real-world tools that help students save, plus an underrated strategy for cutting costs without feeling deprived: thrifting and resale shopping for clothes and essentials.
