SJSinNYC’s description of her life, is pretty close to mine. Part of why my wife and I decided to stop having children after three was the economics of it. There is no doubt in my mind that yeshiva education will become completely unaffordable to me, if costs all round keep rising. I expect that within two or three years, unless some relief comes my way, either my children will not be in yeshiva, or I will have recieved a heter to be the cantor of a non-Orthodox congregation. I can’t work more during the week, and the only other money making skill I have is my voice.
