Most of us come from working families, and those who were privileged to have an even more Torahdike upbringing

I’ll disagree with this premise. Why do you make the assumption that a Kollel family is more “Torah-dike” than other families, where the children see their parents make sacrifices for the RBSO? Kollel, especially in EY, is the easy way out. It certainly is not true with Chassidim.

Other than that, I agree with you. different strokes for different folks, and as long as they don’t ask me for help or assistance, or force others to follow them, whatever floats their boat.

For example, I B’davka send my children to a “less frum” school because I don’t want my children being exposed to the bad environment of the “more frum” school. That doesn’t make me “elitist”, it makes me want what I believe to be best for my children.
