The questions is, who gives a 22 year-old schnuck the right to decide that his shver or parents should be moser nefesh because he feels he deserves to be in kollel?!?! I know someone living in Lakewood and learning in BMG who drives new model car, has a nice big house (with a pool), and whose kids are always dressed to kill. His wife does work, but both sets of parents are middle-class. They live better than any of the working siblings off of the monthly checks that come from the parents. Moser nefesh?!?!? I don’t think so…. For far too many people, it’s just easier than going to work and supporting yourself…
