I stopped being frum over 20 years ago but now I look around at my friends and the math boggles my mind. How does a family on one doctor's salary afford frum camps, years in Israel, private schools, weddings... for multiple kids?! Or an accountant or... you get it. I find life expensive with one child though it's true we travel a bit but the rest is mostly public or subsidized city camps etc. Is everyone is debt? Or because they marry young they learn how to adult and budget really well early on. I mean it's a big responsibility to have children. I was meanwhile in university and not being fiscally responsible much 🙄 I am genuinely curious because I swear I live pay cheque to pay cheque with no where near those costs.
