Reply To: Is there a benefit to remaining single ?

I can think of several benefits. For one thing it’s much cheaper once you’re married tuitions take up the vast majority of your salary and the rest of it goes to other things for your kids or for work on your house. If you’re lucky enough to have a few dollars left your wife will spend it on stuff she needs. Even making $150,000 you can still feel poor. Also the responsibilities of a wife and family can be quite overwhelming at times. When you have people depend on you they are always asking you for Stuff. It’s a huge commitment in terms of time. Not to say that I would give up my family but people don’t realize when they get married what a huge responsibility expensive commitment it is. And I don’t even have to support son in laws in kollel yet….
