- shados 8y agoyeah, going up is obviously fine, but it quickly becomes your new normal. Going back down is...painful. Even for simple things. I grew up without A/C in an apartment with leaky windows that would get way too cold at night. Never bothered me. I was used to sweating a lot in summer and using a lot of blankets or standing by the oven while we were making dinner in winter. Today? The moment the temperature is a little off I WANT TO DIE. I can't get any work (or anything really) done, and I'm likely to get sick. Im a wuss now. Central air/heat (or heated floors if we're gonna get fancy) or I'm sad. My young self from 30 years ago would laugh his ass off at how useless my current self is. Wealth can spoil you really quickly.
