Is Going for Gold Worth Going into Debt? As the Olympics captivate audiences worldwide, a sobering reality lies beneath the surface: many athletes sacrifice their financial stability to chase their dreams. As reported by The Wall Street Journal (https://lnkd.in/gZ3bbb3r), some Olympians accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in debt to fund their training, equipment, and travel. The Question: Is the pursuit of Olympic glory worth the financial risk? Arguments For: - The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent one's country and compete at the highest level. - The potential for life-changing medals and prize money. - The personal growth and fulfillment that comes with pushing oneself to the limit. Arguments Against: - The crushing weight of debt, which can take years to pay off. - The uncertainty of success, with no guarantees of medals or financial rewards. - The potential long-term financial consequences, including damaged credit scores and limited career options. The Verdict: Ultimately, the decision to go into debt for the Olympics is a personal one, driven by individual circumstances and priorities. While the allure of gold may be irresistible, athletes must carefully weigh the risks and consider alternative funding options. Share your thoughts: Is the pursuit of Olympic glory worth the financial risk? #OlympicDreams #FinancialSacrifices #AthleteLife

Every Olympic Games since 1960 has gone over budget. Now, it costs $10-20B to throw one of these events and the economics make sense for few host cities. I explain why in this article (and have thoughts on how Paris 2024 will fare):https://lnkd.in/g2XN5zef

- 2024 Election: Prepare For A Sweep? - Will the 2017 Individual Tax Cuts Be Extended? - Economic and Sector Snapshots We’re borrowing from the upcoming Paris Summer Olympics for our quarterly theme – with a twist. Instead of using the most popular events (like gymnastics, swimming, and track & field) to express our views, we’ll go beyond the spotlight. The reason: we advocate looking past the obvious and strive to find value in diverse market areas – because that’s how you can add value to a portfolio over time. Just as the market has had its share of surprises recently, the Games will have a few as well. https://lnkd.in/grGt3r-k
