Input: My husband and I are both mid 50’s and have taken an early retirement (long story but both basically forced to take early retirement.)  Shortly after doing so, we moved to property we had in the country and started a homestead. I grew up on a farm and tried to tell my husband how hard farm life was but he either didn’t understood how serious I was or underestimated the workload.  My husband is not a “manual labor” type of person. That is left for me to do, which I am fine with.

What I was not prepared for was the increase in price for just about everything in the country. Electricity, internet, heating, trash service, gasoline (we live far from everywhere so we spend $300 a month easily in gasoline) is so much more expensive here than in the suburbs.  We also have a son getting married (paying for a small part of this) and another on his last semester of college that we are paying for. 

My husband is a retired police officer. Last year he went back to work because we could no longer afford our retiree insurance.  (It was $1900 a month for me, my husband and our college-age son.)  His new job is a $10 an hour position as a courier for a large medical group. It’s boring, the hours suck, it’s a 1 hour commute each way, he’s miserable and he hates it.  The only benefit is the extra $1100 a month he brings home and all 3 of us have paid insurance coverage included in his benefits package. 

Recently he went to a job interview as a security guard. When he got there they told him it was a part time position instead of full time. It is a much closer work place so we would save some money on gas, and it starts at $15 an hour but only 2 nights a week. And no health insurance, which means we will have to go back to paying $1900 a month for insurance.

I pay the bills. I know there is no way we can make ends meet by losing $500 a month in income and paying an additional $1900 for insurance.  I’m fine with going to work myself but as I said earlier, my husband isn’t a manual labor type person.  That’s all i do here.  I wake up, feed all the livestock, clean out barns, take care of 12 dogs (10 of them dumped on us since we’ve been here), work in the garden, purchase and haul all feed, take care of the livestock, repair barns / buildings, laundry, dishes, clean house, and most recently try to get our cabin updated (included some building, reroofing and repainted) so it can be listed on Airbnb.  If I’m not here, no one will do these jobs.  I know he won’t because the few times I’ve left overnight, he complains constantly about having to fill in for me. I told my husband that if he took this job, i was no longer paying the bills. I’m tired of getting anxiety every month over trying to pay the bills we have.  He says I’m being unsupportive of him and only see him as a paycheck.  Am I being the jerk?  I don’t know what else to do!!
