Reply To: Things we managed to live without

Milhouse it has zero to do with if can or cant afford the said items or closeness to hashem or lack thereof, its the fact the people were saying “we cant manage without” for example but the multi millionaire and the guy who felt the need to credit card debt to go found out they managed very nicely without it.
The woman managed without cleaning ladies regardless if you were the real estate tycoons wife, the truck driver wife or the shuls rov wife.
No one went to lesensk regardless what income bracket your in or how much it help you get closer to hashem.
Bottom line, we managed.
