i have asked many young couples,” what’s the cost to live per month, for the first few years of marriage? (in israel) ” obviously, the answers were totally dependent on the lifestyle’s that each couple lived. basically, a couple living a very basic lifestyle,( no meat on shabbos, rarely going out to eat, ETC) should cost $2500 per month. if a couple lives a higher lifestyle,(meat on shabbos, inviting boys or girls over for shabbos, going out to eat at least one or two times a week) should cost $3000 a month. If a couple wants to live a very opulent lifestyle that’s going to cost $4000 a month. Everything is dependent on the lifestyle that your child or your son in-law is used to.
