Having been married ten years and still living in an apartment, the wife would often complain about anything, as she was tired of saving¹ every penny² to buy a "dream home".

Trying to placate³ her, the husband found a new apartment, within their budget. However, after the first week, she began complaining again.

"Joel," she said, "I don't like this place at all. There are no curtains in the bathroom. The neighbors can see me every time I take a bath."

"Don't worry." replied her husband. "If the neighbors do see you, they'll buy you curtains."
