honestly, if you do it right, you can figure out a trip to worlds relatively cheap. mind you i say RELATIVE. lol worlds in and of itself screams bankruptcy for cheerleaders. but simple things like (well depending on where you're from, because it may be more expensive) but driving does make a difference. also, if you're a spectator, just get the ticket to get into worlds, no park passes. i know for nationals this year, i packed alot of snacks and stuff, and that saved me ALOT of money in the regards of food, because disney is so pricey. and think about the stuff you can save on at home. do you really need one more pair of flip flops? does CP really need a new comp bag every year, a tshirt at every single competition? things like that, make a HUGE difference. also maybe have a swear jar/bad habit jar. i swear by those. my mom was quitting smoking, and everytime she wanted to buy cigarettes, she had to put the money she'd spend on them in the jar. we ended up paying for a two week vacation for seven of us to disney with that money. if it's something you really want, you learn to make sacrifices :) this coming from the broke college student who didn't manage to save up enough money for worlds this year....
