The 5 Things Americans Won't Live Without

Back to blog homepage for: A-Team Blog

Ohio’s only Lamborghini dealer closed this year. The dealership was in a suburb of Columbus, where I live. Given the economic conditions, this closure was certainly no surprise. We can clearly live without such cars; however, there are a few things that Americans do not want to give up.

From U.S. News & World Report, here are The 5 Things Americans Won't Live Without:
1.) Car - 88 percent of Americans rank this as a necessity
2.) Landline Phone - 68 percent of Americans rank this as a necessity
3.) Clothes Dryer - 66 percent of Americans rank this as a necessity
4.) Home Air Conditioning - 54 percent of Americans rank this as a necessity
5.) TV Set - 52 percent of Americans rank this as a necessity
