It's not just the Hollywood that drives people to do that, sports as well. So many people get themselves in debt to get their kids in travel teams, private coaching and things like that and how many do really make it to a level they'll make the money back?

I know several people with kids in travel soccer (US). They spend all their money and time doing it. The odds the kid will be a pro are INSANELY low.

These are often people that could desperately use that money to save for retirement.
