I bough a haunted house also .It is much cheaper . also i bought a two family and rented it out for years to help pay the mortgage. now my kids have a bit more space and we rent out half a floor to a chosson and kalla so thta also helps. be honest and g-d helps. My wife and i got married without a dollar to our name. we are still far from comfrotable but g-d is lways there just when i feel chocked.

The same way some bal teshuva beocome lubavitch. That is also a chasidus. Happens to be that BT’s are the ones who really are emesdik and a true chossid of the Rebbe. I admire all BT’s no matter what affiliation they chose to have.

Of course i would, my own girls didnt go because of finances. Yet they are still good frum girls. Seminary has nothing to do. As it is finding a shiduch is hard enough ,why add this to the list?

I am a working father . I work hard and try to grab all the overtime that my job has so that i can make ends meet. With emunah and bitachon i survive. Jsut when youthink you will braek from financial presure Hasjem sends you an unexpected yeshua. Yes- I believe that honesty is the best policy. Sadly in shul teh hottest topic is who can milk out the most from the government. I remember twenty years ago people were embarrased to used food stamps etc. It was and is meant to be a temporary aid. My daughter tells me that her friends are so excited to get it and anounce it. Yyou think your children wont know the difference, I hear kids saying how there parents are unofficially divorced . It all starts with a little lie here and then into big things. I see a big difference in atituse and personality withththe people who try to honestly make a parnassah and others who got the easy way and acam. I went thru a time when i felt that maybe i was the only one who looks to see where is the cheapest and running after the sales.Seems like every one is on this governemnt tzedak. TO those who need it honestly may hashem bentch you with parnassah beharchava . And to the others who are scamming, Shame on you . YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TOSTEAL FROM HARD WORKING PEOPLE. It is wrong to start your life thinking you will live on this forever. It is disgusting to see poeple subletting section 8 apt to people for a crazy amount and to hear how poeple are so creative in scamming. use your creativity for the righ things. A woman told my daghter with no shame, why do you pay so much for insurance per month, jsut write a paper ir claim siblings for dependents. How dare people curropt young minds like that.

A jewish book gemach. They are so expensive but there is a real need. Also include bina and mishpacha,the subscribtions are a bit much. Also a TOY GEMACH. or you can even make a toy consignment shop and use the proceeds for tzedaka

If you need it and legally you qualify for it then no need to be embarrassed and hashem should give you parnassah beharchava.IF YOU DONT NEED IT AND YOU SCAM IT THEN YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASED. You would never be mechalel shabbos ,so why would you steal other peoples hard earned money. I dont know why people think it is OK to scam . I work in a school with many modern orhtodox teachers and one of the biggest topics of the teacher’s room is how is that frum people are so dishonest. One of the teachers husband works in mnhattan with a chasidish yungerman, The yungerman told him without any embarasment exactly how he scams even tho he has a job that he can live nicely
