We can’t afford a newer Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system.

I shrugged & told him Sam and I would do what my nice friend and I had to do

We knew there was nothing wrong with the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system yet, but my nice friend Sam and I were considering what would happen if the boiler or air conditioner unit broke. We knew they were new machines, & although theoretically they should last fifteen years or more, Sam and I didn’t want to wait for the fifteen year time frame to occur. We were already looking at the prices of newer Heating, Ventilation, & A/C systems for the house, hoping to have most of the money in the account before that time arrived. We wrote down the model of AC unit & boiler Sam and I had, & started looking them up. They no longer had that make or model, but there were a few similar Heating, Ventilation, & A/C systems. They were more luxurious than Sam and I had paid for ours, & that was to be expected, then prices had risen extremely over the last ten years. I did the figures & came up with an annual price hike percentage every year. Over five years, the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system would be so luxurious Sam and I could not afford a new one. We knew how much Sam and I had to put in the bank every year, but Sam and I also knew it wasn’t going to happen. It was more money than Sam and I put back for taxes, trip, & emergencies. Sam looked at me & told me my nice friend and I would need to take out a HELOC if Sam and I had to buy a new Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system. I shrugged & told him Sam and I would do what my nice friend and I had to do. I could consistently labor a little more which could give us another 1000 dollars a month. He smiled & said he was happy that the newer Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system was hopefully another five years away.
