DaasYachid, you make it sound like a lot of frum people drive around in fancy cars. Sure, if the parents drive a Lexus, likely they can afford to give the kids all the expensive stuff. But I wasn’t talking about them. Based on your theory, there should never be a boycott of Borsalino because if the kids followed their parents example, they would know if they can’t afford expensive things, they don’t buy expensive things. And if the parents can’t afford expensive things, but get them anway, well, how long can that lifestyle last?
You said, if deprived they’ll leave yeshiva, and….work! A dirty four-letter word I suppose.
