Reply To: Support from girl's parents in non-Litvish circles

apushatayid, when people tell me that I am a tzaddik, I tell them that I am mikayim “al ta’amin b’atzmicha ad yom moscha”, however, after 120, they are welcome to come to my kever and use it as kivrei tzadikim.

Alas, the chosheve bochurim who are real bnei Torah have parents who want full support for their sons for 5 – 10 years MINIMUM. Besides that, the standard of support expected is MUCH higher than my own standard of living. This stopped in its tracks a few shidduch suggestions.
