I could live without one if I had access to a daily open air market. I could live with a dorm fridge in an inner city center in Europe. In the US, with centralized supermarkets requiring some sort of vehicle to transport the goods and limiting trips to once a week (or more, in my case), I need a fridge. It's either that or an ice box and I'm old enough to remember ice boxes and no thanks.
