Has dreams of going "pro" (as most young kids do with whatever sport they're into).

I've started playing tennis again since last year and it's helped but more importantly, I really learned to enjoy the sport again. 

In addition, foregoing going out (eating, clubbing, concerts, sporting events, etc.) as often could result in savings that can be applied to the down payment.Small sacrifices can help many obtain the necessary down payment.Save now, reward yourself when the nearly passive income permits.Good luck

Look at how many lottery winners lose all their money, and how many sports figures end up broke, after earning millions.  

Travel food blog and sports will take me to healthy and wealthy goal.

You all are right - I wont go the public shaming route - it does give a hint of satisfaction to think about it - as I've stated a few local area sports bars have done this with great success when things are damaged or stolen.I just got off the phone with an old college friend that has been an attorney in the Marine Corp JAG division. 

For me, I grew up with a high emphasis on sports and school. 

Also if my wife wants to go to the spa or I want to go drop cash at a sporting event its not even a question, we go do it and I do not care what she spent as she earned it, saved it and manages her money well.
