3 years ago I was in the middle of a major life transition.
I was packing all of my things to move several states away from my friends and family for the first time ever.
I was giving up a lucrative job, a bustling social life, and a lot of familiarity with the area for a whole new environment. Of course, I was utterly terrified at this major transition in my life. When I arrived in my new home city, I had to relearn everything. I also had to completely re-establish my life after leaving most of my things behind. So we started going to the thrift store every day. That’s when we stumbled upon the best investment ever, a brand new central air conditioning system for $50 at the thrift store. I couldn’t believe that we had found this amazing air quality control of clients just sitting there. The cooling system clearly had never been used and it was from a well-known brand in the heating and cooling industry. The air conditioning system was only two years old, it had a five star energy rating, and it was even compatible with HEPA air filters. When I found this air quality control appliance just sitting there, I knew that we had to buy it even if we didn’t need a cooling system right then. Surely, someday we would be in need of a new air conditioner. When I wandered down the next aisle, I found another cool find. A giant multi-pack of HEPA air filters was sitting unopened. That day, I left with a brand new cooling system and enough air filters the last 2 years. My new life was off to a good start.
