5/18/24 – Shiur 467 – Un-Lavish Living – why are we embarrassed to live below our means?

What keeps us spending when we can’t afford it? What’s the impact on children when parents have an expensive standard of living? Is there an obligation to refrain from looking at materialism which may tempt us? Can we spend on luxuries when people need tzedakah? What are the minimums required to celebrate a bar/bas mitzvah and a wedding? Can having a low-budget bar/bas mitzvah or wedding hurt our children longer-term?
