I’ll risk getting attacked here, but the “going rate” has been $1,000 per side, MINIMUM, for years already.
I want all to know that since I got drastically less than that for a Shidduch from wealthy people on both sides, Im somewhat less inspired to work as hard as before. Most of my get up and go, my verve and inspiration, got up and went.
To all those who might look down at me for that, each one of you: Do it for less, sweeties!!!! Only those who do it around the clock for less than $1,000 per side (from people who can well afford it- it was like pulling teeth), should dare criticize!
I want to mention that from BT’s or people who arent obviously well off, I’ve accepted next to nothing, graciously!!!!
