lower income families rely on government programs, while middle income families use up all their money on essentials

holy smokes!!

of course the husband has an obligation to support his wife. but if they mutually agree that she should work of course it works. and all this malarkey about going OTD from collge. please. dont we all know professionals who actually became baalei teshuva in college? a person is obligated to learn a trade and if the world we live in doesn’t agree with torah values, what are we going to do, lock ourselves in a cage?! hopefully the torah that he learnt before he goes to college and his own convictions will keep him from being influenced by anti-torah values.

and while were on the topic. i digress. this era in yiddishkeit is the era of ‘gedarim'(fences). no internet. no college. no working. all ‘gedarim’. the irony is that while the purpose of ‘gedarim’ are to keep us from being ‘parutz’, we have now become ‘parutz’ in making ‘gedarim’. but isn’t the purpose not to avoid nisyonos but to overcome nisyonos!? why must we shy away from every battle and not have some trust in our torah, our mesora, and ourselves!? isn’t it time we faced the world as it is, became part of the world, and still held on to our traditions to the fullest extent?! wer’e acting like a child who plays peek-a-boo and thinks that since he cant see you, you cant see him as well. the ‘gedarim’ are not the purpose. the purpose is living a torah life – that is, living, with torah.

You will need to first get a credit card that does not give points as those are easier to get approved and that way you will build credit. I think it hat store credit cards are most likely to approve eg Macy’s banana republic kohls etc. Also try discover or capitalone student if you’re a student. In general amex is hard to get approved and you’d be better off starting with any capital one / discover / chase (freedom, slate). Also good info on credit cards at dans deals website. See there about calling for reconsideration after you’ve been declined.

no offense but why do you post so much?

This is one of the causes of the modern day OTD syndrome. When instead of making logical and sensible rules like one may not browse indecent websites or use the internet at all we go overboard and make insensible and unreasonable rules like one may not even hold a smartphone, then eventually the rule will be questioned and abandoned totally. But if the rule was sensible in the first place then it is more likely to last. Anybody agree or disagree?
