"for the one thing he couldn't afford, just to buy the farm."
buy the farm was a slang term for dying. (comes from the military in the 1940s, because pensions were 10,000$ which was a lot back then). Bob's dead! Holy crap he just bought the farm!
I always interpreted that line as meaning he was so in love with a girl that she was his whole world. Unfortunately for him, she was in a relationship.
