Lena spends 3,500 for down payment on a house in Clybourne Park, and after being agitated many times by Walter, gives him the remaining 6,500 and tells him to save 3,000 of it for Beneathas medical school and take the remaining 3,500 for his own investments.Ruth discovers she is pregnant and, fearing another child will add to the financial pressures, considers having an abortion, a suggestion to which Walter voices no objection, but Lena is strongly against, saying I thought we gave children life, not take it away from them. Lena puts a down payment on a house in Clybourne Park, an entirely white section of the city. When their future neighbors find out the Youngers are moving in, they send Karl Lindner from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association to offer the Youngers money in return for staying away, but they refuse the deal. Meanwhile, Walter has lost the balance of the insurance payment to his friend Willy Harris, who took the cash to invest in the liquor store but in reality made off with the money. It turns out that Walter did not even put the 3,000 for Beneathas schooling in the bank. ........
