Time, money, dedication , family, life, and tournaments

[Rock Solid]

In this the toughest year for my company financially in 9 years, with two children, one in sports in college, one in middle school and in sports, I also play in the NHFL.
The league requires scheduling games, practice , and coordinating with other coaches. We have a good time here in the Garden State Region and successfully played all our games.
When tournaments come up. I want to go to all of them. Last year I did Buzzball, Miggle, the Seawall Brawl, and for my league the NHFL playoffs in somewhere where we could have been put in a tornado shelter. It was a pricy year. I also bought items. I can tell you the the only place you can get a thong for your girl is at the Seawall Brawl. Don see's to it that there are the best fashions available.
So my post is , Do you other guys have the same pressures as I feel. I really wanted to go to the Columbus Day Bash but could not due to schedule. If all were said, I probably could not afford to go either. I just don't have the kind of money.
I am going to Detroit, and hoping that Norbert , Jim Davis, and Ken Allen take turns bringing me home to eat as if things don't get better soon, I won't have much money to eat with. By the way, what do you eat in Detroit in January?

So I am also going to try to make the NHFL playoffs but you have to qualify and it is not a tournament, it's a playoff. I enjoyed the Brawl a lot and want to go back there again. But I would like to go to Texas, and maybe Ohio.
What can I afford to go to ? What can I get the time to get to ? These are my questions for myself and my son.
Do you coaches wrestle with these issues?
