 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cost of Living is a 2017 play by Martyna Majok.It examines issues of class and disability, focusing on two couples. Eddie and Ani are a couple in their forties. At some point Eddie and Ani separated, apparently because he was unfaithful. Before they got divorced, Ani was in a devastating car accident that left her a quadriplegic. They now live apart, Eddie with his new lover, but he comes back to Ani and offers to be her caretaker.The second couple is John and Jess. John is a handsome, upper-crust young man who also happens to have cerebral palsy and requires assistance at home. He hires Jess, a college graduate who is struggling to find a job and has had to resort to waiting tables in bars. They get to know each other, and there's a hint of romance.

 Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Eddie and Ani's whole relationship. She says she'd rather pay a caretaker than hang on Eddie's insurance.

 Bittersweet Ending: Jess has been humiliated by John and quit the job. Ani has died of a stroke and Eddie is alone, having apparently broken up with his new girlfriend as well. But Eddie and Jess meet each other at the end and he offers her a chance to rent a room in his apartment, and it seems as if they'll form some sort of connection.

 Bathtub Scene: Each couple has a scene where the caretaker bathes the disabled person. Although it's not typical Fanservice each are played for intimate moments. Jess eagerly accepts John's invitation to come over on Friday night. The shyly intimate moment between Eddie and Ani goes in another direction when he steps out of the bath for just a moment, and she slips under the water and nearly drowns.
