Dad of 4. Works in finance. Built these tools because nobody else did. Real budgets for real families. fourkidslater.com
Hey — I'm a dad of 4 kids, a dog, a full-time job in corporate finance, and approximately zero free time. Sound familiar?
A few years ago I started actually tracking what our family spends on kids sports and activities. The number shocked me — not because we were being irresponsible, but because nobody had ever laid it all out in one place. Registration fees, gear, gas, food, end of season photos, replacement cleats mid-season. It never showed up as one bill. It just quietly disappeared from the bank account every month.
I work in corporate finance. Reading numbers and building systems is literally my job. And even I was getting surprised every season.
So I built the tools I wished existed. Simple spreadsheets and checklists that take the chaos out of family budgeting — specifically for the stuff nobody talks about. Kids sports costs. Activity budgets. The hidden bills that show up at the worst possible time.
Everything in this shop is built from real experience with a real family. Not theoretical budgeting advice from someone who read about it. Actual tools we use in our house, cleaned up and packaged for yours.
If you have kids in sports, camps, or activities and you're tired of being surprised by the bill — you're in the right place.
Every tool is designed to take under 20 minutes to set up and immediately show you what your family's activities actually cost — before the season starts, not after.
I also write a free weekly newsletter every Sunday called Four Kids Later — real talk about family finances, kids sports, outdoor life, and what it actually costs to raise a family in today's world. No fluff, no lectures, just honest practical content from someone living the same life you are.
