His wife also wants to get an air mattress for them to sleep on in the barn, and she believes they can also pay for a gym membership so they have somewhere to go to shower every day.
“I shut it down and said no way am I ever living in a cow barn or pig stall,” he said.
“She seemed sort of offended that I wouldn’t even consider it, saying it’s partially my fault for losing my better-paying job, and this would be an easy way to make up lost financial ground.”
“I said that there’s just something sort of repulsive about the idea, and I didn’t think it would work out. She’s never been to a farm; we’re both suburbanites, does she even know what she’s asking for? But then she said, “well, you’ve never been either, so you don’t know either; you’re being sort of closed-minded.”
He’s left wondering if he’s the worst for not even considering this since it’s something his wife is pretty invested in.
Would you be willing to live in a cow barn to save money, or do you think this is absurd?
