Shindy, I live very modestly. Gemach or catalogue sheitels, thrift shop clothes or inexpensive separates (e.g. Marshalls) and I can handle that. But there’s something else you may have missed. Even if the money sometimes IS available for the $xx -xxx outfit, or $xxx- xxxx sheitel, shouldn’t our writer put the money away for HER children’s years in kollel? (Leaving aside the point, will she ever be able to.)
