How much does it cost to fence a yard?

Don't I wish...We don't have a 2.75% downpayment.
I quit my job because all my hair fell out from stress.
I have a $2000 savings bond that my grandfather gave me and told me to get whatever I want.
All I want is a friggin fenced in yard. That's it.

We are going to have to wait a few years before we can start thinking about buying a house or even renting more than an apartment with a yard.

And no, there aren't any apartments in our price range with a fenced in yard. This apartment I looked at yesterday had a HUGE yard and was exactly in our range.
I just thought I could work with that.

Just looking at prices it seems like 200ft of 6ft stockade fence is going to cost you almost $2K, and then it will need to be installed.
I don't want to be pain in your ass, but if you have $2K and HUD is offering up to $10K (ADDI), why wait a few years to buy? A few years of equity can mean a lot of money. If waitressing is too stressful, why not buy a multi-family and try your hand at being the landlord?
Ok. I'll shut up now.
