Saving money problem

How not to let the kids down while saving more money on our future?

I currently have two kids 13 and 16 y/o. Both of them are into Lacrosse and therefore, I have to pay for their coaching and equipment fees constantly. When it comes to tutoring, i started to teach them on my own using online resources like Khan Academy and StudyPug chemistry instead of looking for a private tutor. However, I would like to save up for the future as I plan to buy a house for our family. I am wondering if there is a way to keep letting the kids play their sports while not needing to worry about the expenses so that I could save up.

Thank you in advance.

sounds like you have some independent kids!

My advice: Buy used for everything. I think about 90% in my house has come from ebay or craigslist.
