Very Costly

It is both interesting and sad. The average income in the USA [at the end of 2017] was $44,564 [for a 40 hour work week - but who works 40 hours a week anymore?]. That means that if an Orthodox Jew earns an average salary, after basic expenses such as food, shelter, car, insurance etc. he can afford to send exactly zero children to yeshiva.
