OK so some of you know I have been desperate to save for a fence. I live in a kinda rural city. Which means I have about two acres surrounded by neighbors. If I wish to add animals or free range my chickens I must install 500 ft of 6 foot high chain link. Were talking at a cost of aprox 5k.
So my husband asked me what I wanted fr Christmas this year and I told him. A fence!!! He came home the other day with a large box and put it under the tree. He was very excited and proud of himself.
This morning while paying bills and organizing my check book I noticed how much $$ he spent. I allmost fainted. its about 1/3 the cost of my fence. I know he was very proud of his gift idea and excited he bought me somthing I "need". But I want a fence................
What do I do pretend like I did not see it, go through the Christmas motions and then return it? This is kind of a prime example of how we live in different worlds. I am so tring to do everything I can to scale back. While he likes to live big. Of course I would love costly gifts and fancy new stuff but I really think my fence needs to come first.
Help, what do I do? g
