AAQ- as a kollel wife, I find your responses sadly misinformed. There are a very small percentage of kollel men that learn more than 5 years in kollel. They either leave because they can’t sit and learn anymore (nobody wants to sit and not accomplish- it doesn’t feel good) or because there wives say ENOUGH! Most kollel husbands want to please their wives, like most husbands in the world do. They care about their families. Many of them are very successful in the business world, and some aren’t, just like the rest of the world.
The few kollel people I know that are learning long term are doing it because they and their wives want it.
When discussing kollel men in Israel one runs into a different topic where people are learning not to go to the army, which causes many problems.
Men going into chinuch is also a completely different topic than kollel men.
