I’m amazed at the level of selfish and materialistic comments from a sitethat places such a high priority on marrying a learner, not a worker.
What is wrong with public transportatation? Many of the posters make it sound like it is beneath their dignity and station in life to use. Renting a car is expensive, not to mention the fortune it costs to park a car in a Manhattan garage. Where is a future kolel guy supposed to get this money for every first date he goes on?
As for the girl, if this is a turn off, what exactly does she think kolel life will be like? I imagine when she is stressing out how to pay tuition and the rent, she’ll thimk back and wish she had the money she insisted her husband waste on rented cars and parking.
What I do fault the boy om is that he should have picked her up at her house nd saw her to her door.
