Most parents who see their children enjoying Chess (along with the many other benefits of playing) will not resist spending additional money if that's what's needed to keep it going. Parents know that the activities their children undertake are going to cost them money, but that doesn't stop them spending that money.
And I think people forget that compared to other activities, Chess is not expensive. If your child has some horseriding lessons; learns the piano; and likes to go skiing then the comparative cost of Chess is barely even noteworthy.
