Reply To: How much does it cost to support for a year?

The minimum wage in the United States is roughly $15000 a year, of which at least 7% goes to taxes. This comes to about $300/week. Once you get a family, various “entitlements” kick in.

Of course, if one’s interest in learning Torah requires a lifestyle more fitting of the legendary “one percent”, you are probably in the wrong line of work.
