In the code of jewish law, the shulchan aruch, there is actually a section that deals with this question: siman 5656 (hiddur mitzva), siman 5657 (buying daled minim for your children). Why write an article about this, without referencing the basics – shulchan aruch, and poskim?

To all the judgement sounding like comments:
Please try a little harder not to judge someone until you are in their shoes.

To the Author:
Thank you for sharing your thought process. This choice was indeed a good choice.

Does your bachur have his own money? Or are you depriving him of the ability to : do the naanuim during Davening, go on mivtzoyim? Because if that’s the case, you haven’t taught him anything.

I think if everyone had a good עשה לך רב, they would make the right decisions and would have such joy and confidence, they wouldn’t need to post an article to “boast” their
