My wife and I like to make things interesting.
There is a lot of just day to day stuff that we all have to deal with.
So why not just make it all as interesting and playful as possible. That’s just sort of the way we look at life as well. We’d much rather be out there in life than inside the air conditioning just watching TV. So embracing challenges in a fun way is something that we both really enjoy about living together in this partnership. This spring, we decided to commit to a challenge when it comes to saving on the HVAC cooling cost inside our home. It’s just the two of us and a dog and a cat. What we’re spending on cooling just us is sort of absurd. We’d sort of looked at air conditioning as just the price of doing business here in the south. The summer comes with a ton of heat and humidity so we just threw a bunch of HVAC cooling at the problem. And with mixed results. For one, all that time in the air conditioning doesn’t allow for the body to acclimate to the heat at all. That just makes the heat feel even that much more oppressive when you have to leave the air conditioning. So we decided to wait to start the HVAC cooling until the temps were consistently in the 90’s during the day. And then, we’re going to keep the thermostat setting only 15 degrees cooler than the outside air. With the money that we save, we’re going to take a special trip and splurge the whole time.
