Please explain the following to me

A Kollel Man has 10 Children 5 Boys and 5 Girls

All are married. He is supporting the 5 Girls families (The boys are supported by their father-in-laws)

Each of the 5 girls (and their husbands) has 5 children each for a total of 25 grandchildren. So he is supporting 37 people (Himself, His wife, his 5 daughters and son-in-laws and 25 grandchildren)

He has to pay 25 yeshiva tuitions at $3000 each (OK this is a low amount)

He also has to pay for 6 Apartments at $1000 a month each (Also a low amount) (His apartment and apartments for his 5 daughters)

And he has to feed 37 mouths…
