While I sympathize with your situation, there's no way this is true. There is a reason, and likely a fix.

1) Do you have a very old and inefficient A/C unit or units? Is the refrigerant low?
2) Do you have insufficient insulation in the attic or in walls? Attic easier to fix obviously.
3) Are there any trees in your yard? Some strategically placed trees can take a lot of sun off your roof and exterior walls once they get larger.
4) Are you using incandescent bulbs everywhere?
5) Do you have an inefficient water heater that has a really high temp set point?
6) Is your thermostat accurate?
