The Activity Tax: What Extracurriculars Actually Cost a Family of Four

If you've ever paid a $185 tournament registration fee from a parking lot while eating drive-through for dinner, this episode is for you. The real cost of kids' extracurriculars for a typical family of four goes way beyond the number on the flyer. We're talking about the gear, the costumes, the spirit wear, the coach gifts, and the travel hotel that shows up six weeks after you were already emotionally committed. According to LendingTree, 42% of parents have taken on debt to cover activity costs, and most families have never actually added up the full annual number before signing up. This episode gets honest about why it's so hard to pump the brakes, what the warning signs are, and six practical steps to make it all sustainable. Your kid will remember you showing up. They won't remember whether it was the travel team or the local league. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html

A Vision for Serving: starting an eye care practice with Dr. Sykes Thompson

This week, we’re sitting down with a Dr. Sykes Thompson, who is in the middle of something big… opening his very own eye care practice right here in our community! He shares how he’s always known this was the path for him, but as you’ll hear, knowing your calling and actually building it are two very different things. From finding the right location to making major financial decisions, hiring a team, and preparing for opening day, this conversation gives a real look at what it takes to start a practice from the ground up. We talk through the excitement, the pressure, and all the behind-the-scenes moments most people never see before the doors officially open. And at the heart of it all is something that stood out to us the most, his genuine passion for serving this community and doing it the right way. If you’ve ever thought about starting something of your own, or you just love hearing how a vision turns into reality, this is one you’ll want to listen to. https://www.myfsb.com/about-us/isnt-that-rich-podcast/index.html
