So the price of gas in Israel is about to go up... again, this time to $7.19 a gallon.
My parents asked me how do we survive with gas that high?
I don't know.
Ben Bayit answered in the comments section:
B/C your home costs 1/3 the price of an equivalent sized home in a major Orthodox neighborhood in the USA, and your kids tuition costs about 25% of equivalent tuition from K thru College, and health care costs about 25% of what it does in the USA.
That makes up for a lot of gasoline.

We don't have a car, so we waste more time and less money.
B/C your home costs 1/3 the price of an equivalent sized home in a major Orthodox neighborhood in the USA, and your kids tuition costs about 25% of equivalent tuition from K thru College, and health care costs about 25% of what it does in the USA.
That makes up for a lot of gasoline
And your salary is also 1/3 of the equivalent in the USA :-)
Really truly the reason people manage is because of one thing ... that's right, because of the Kadosh Baruch Hu!!!
