Reply To: tuition and home buying

Besalel,

I appreciate your response and ideas. While I disagree with your idea of making tuition a “shared sacrifice”, I enjoy having an honest discussion with people, like yourself, who understand that this is a major issue in klal yisroel.

Out of curiosity, why do you choose to abandon the current model (that everyone should be responsible for their own kids/bills)?

I think everyone understands that being frum, while being a huge bracha, is a very expensive lifestyle (i.e. yomim tovim, tuition, living in established communities, larger families, simchas).

Maybe we should be pushing for more advanced degrees and stronger credentials? Maybe we should be pushing for smarter financial planning?
