YYBC – we haven’t heard both sentiments here. There has been no firsthand account from a kollel man against his way of life.
The only people against here are outsiders who feel a need to paint a black picture of others affairs. I think people should follow their own daas torah rather than listening to the warped hashfkafos that people are bringing.
Whoever is doing as well as they are making out should perhaps start supporting those who are learning. They are upholding the world, and there is no way for a G-d fearing Jew to refute that.
