All of which are very satisfied.
As for teenagers and 20 somethings that were, for some reason, brought up on this. I honestly don't think it is as much as a financial barrier as it is a general apothy barrier. Sure, most teenagers/20-somethings probably could not afford an SSC. However, I think the biggest thing with that population is that they just don't care enough or value it enough. They say they can't afford it, but these same kids will run off and dump thousands of dollars into a new Iphone or into their obnoxiously loud, 25 year old VW. At that age they don't value a competent coach. Of course, there are exceptions. Like myself, I am in my early 20s and I have been with SSOC almost since they launched. It's very expensive for me. But I value it enough to do what I need to do to afford it. People put their money into what they see as valuable/important.
