A/C

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
View all responses

For most of my life, I lived in homes with no air conditioning. Growing up, we made it through the muggy New England summers with fans and one window air conditioning unit in my parents’ bedroom. Throughout college and my first few apartments, I had no a/c at all. We purchased a window air conditioning unit for our bedroom in our first house.

It wasn’t until we moved into our second home that I experienced the true luxury of central air conditioning. I was 39 years old. Between menopause, global warming, and the extra layer of fat I now wear, I could never go back to A/C-less living.

    1. My minister just visited Ghana (fans only) and she had multiple bouts of heat exhaustion. I suppose you can get used to anything, but I don’t think I could ever go there.
