All of those things I have personally seen people used and even in different periods of time I have done the same.

Now it is harder to do when you are only doing one sport, but if you do 3 like I did, you can make a little bit of money.

Lacrosse, baseball and even youth sports can add a lot to your income if you do not pass out first.

I hear ya.

My kids will be going to college someday from my referee earnings. Put all of my profit into 529 plans for my kids. Every year.
