Skating Budget Planner (Printable PDF)
Skating costs creep up on most of us. It starts with a class and some rental skates, and a year later there's freestyle ice, a coach, your own boots and a sharpening every so often. This planner gives you a page for each month to write it all down as you pay, so you can see where the money goes and decide what matters most to you.
It's made to go with our guide to the real cost of adult figure skating, which explains what drives each cost and how to find your own rink's prices. There are no prices printed in the planner, because every rink sets its own and they change, so you write in yours.
18 pages. US Letter, A4 and a black-and-white printer-friendly version, all in one download.
