One worked very hard and put all his money into real estate, he followed the conventional wisdom and bought the biggest house he could get a mortgage for, leaving himself deeply in debt, but after all real estate only goes up in value – that’s what they all said. You can ignore that the figures in the article don’t take into account inflation.

The other person managed to get by with difficulty. He spent most of his time learning, working only enough to keep his family from starving. All he has to show for his efforts are a lot of Torah, and having spent lots of time learning with his kids.
