but it makes it so that children have everything and motivating them is a huge challenge...
Not sure how much you are into professional sports, but Finland is an ice hockey country. The cost of playing for kids is really high each year, and what that does is severely limit the pool of players whose parents are willing to pay. And then, the kids come from well-off families, so they don't tend to have the same drive to push themselves, especially when they are surrounded by more "toys" to entertain themselves with. What does the future hold for Finnish hockey I wonder.
