I have read somewhere that people who spend their money on experience like travel or a hobby much more happier and healthier than people who spend their money on things.
non-dancers have no idea how valuable lessons are or your health. I have read somewhere that people who spend their money on experience like travel or a hobby much more happier and healthier than people who spend their money on things.
Why do I spend money on horses and dancing instead of clothes or satelite internet or whatever else I might buy? They make me happy. Happy is good.

You’ll find that a lot of people are jealous of other people passion, especially when they do not have their own, be that dancing, tennis or skiing, etc.
Why should you care what anybody thinks to the point of getting the cheapest dance shoes? Quality of shoes is very important. You do not owe anybody any explanation on how you spend money.
Just keep concentrating on what you want, not what others think.
So I think the nature of the question has changed based on:

Now, its a matter of what does it take to win (gotta go for the win if you're going to come close, so don't get hung up on that word) - what does it take?
LOTS of practice, and corresponding amount of lessons, coaching, competition, a 2nd job, and . . .

Sorry! Didn't mean to imply shopping is my hobby. I actually dislike shopping quite a bit. Was just teasing in response to jerseydancer's comment:

Couldn't help think of someone close to me whose hobby is shopping, and she's not particularly happy.
I love shopping for antiques. I love shopping for dance dresses--sparkly! I even, sometimes, like grocery shopping. (And I could spend soooooo much money at Tractor Supply. I'm also NOT ALLOWED to go there when they have baby chicks. Or baby bunnies. I DO NOT NEED more animals.) And tack stores...okay, I'll end up buying used, but I like looking at the pretty $4000 saddles even if I can't afford something that costs a little under seven times what the horse did.
I *hate* shopping for everyday/work clothes, and shoe shopping is pure torture (street shoes, dance shoes, doesn't matter, it's misery.) I will do just about anything I can to avoid either.
