Stretching the dollar

Kat's cheer team will be starting competitions soon. This means we will have to order her cheer shoes, which are not cheap by any means, as well as paying for the competitions. While I am excited for her to begin her competitions, and hope they do well at regionals so they can go to Orlando to compete, I do not look forward to the extra expenses. Especially if they do place high enough to go to Orlando.

We are talking about $2000 in costs just for Kat to go. And I have no intention of letting my little girl go to Florida without a family member with her. So that will increase the cost greatly.

When living paycheck to paycheck, there is no way we can swing that out of pocket. Even with saving up a few dollars each week ahead of time, I am sure we will have to get a personal loan in order for her to go.

I know it would be the time of her life and I do not want her to miss out on the opportunity. If they do place, I'm sure we will find a way to make it happen. Whether we have to do a cash advance from a payday loan company or find some other means to cover it, we will do everything we can.
