For us, definitely better. Our chess business was meant to be a fun based side business and nothing more. The income from that business has more than quadrupled what we anticipated when we decided to go five nights a week, Families have more expendable income now than in the past.
It's five nights a week now, 15 classes per week. Two years ago we had two classes on Mondays, that was it.
It's been a blessing. My wife retired from full time teaching, only teaches two Technology classes per week at a charter school. Her schedule allows to help with the grand baby. I'm working half as many hours on the Energy business, spend the remainder on the chess business. **** If the average family didn't have more expendable income today as opposed to two years ago, this wouldn't be possible for us. ****
