I live in an area of hideously hot summers but rarely use air conditioning these days and make use mostly with a couple of desk fans.
I regard myself as living largely 'by choice' a low cost, much simplified version of semi-retirement and work intermittently when needed and when it suits - love this flexibility but with the down-side being I can't throw money around. However it works for me and I get by...
Ways to stay cool include doing most labour intensive work in the early morning - best part of the day any way. Cool baths. Drink lots of cold water. Always seems cooler at a beach or near a river so a bonus if you can access those environments. Besides most places are air-conditioned ie. Shopping centres, libraries, restaurants etc. So sort of in and out of air con as I go about life anyway.
Can't speak for anyone else but I get by using air conditioning sparingly.
