Feif, people need to actively reduce thier expenses (I’m not saying eat beans every night, but definitely scale back) while increasing their income. Now, not everyone can do this feasibly, but people should be coming up with long term solutions to pay tuition rather than rely on tzedaka.
As a full time working parent, some form of daycamp will be neccesary, especially in younger grades. But it certainly won’t be fancy camps if I can’t afford tuition.
Vacations are wonderful, but in most cases, shouldn’t be taken if you are living off tzedaka.
