In Joseph’s defense, he’s a yeshiva guy, and clearly a younger one at that. Every expense of his is paid for by Tattie. He was never challenged in his emunah and bitachon by a checkbook that doesn’t balance. His youth also prevents him from fully comprehending. I know- I used to be the same guy, both as a bachur and as a kollel guy, before I started working. It’s a lot easier to have bitachon when there is no yetzer hara not to. I grew up with my father in kollel, so I don’t live an extravagant lifestyle. And even so, it’s hard to make ends meet.
