I don’t like to adjust my thermostat before going on vacation

I really don’t like to adjust my thermostat when I go on vacation. I know that everyone has told me that they always adjust the thermostat in their house when they go on vacation, and it makes sense. Now, I am able to adjust my thermostat on vacation, but I didn’t use to, and I have a good reason why. Sure, I understand that it is a complete waste of money to use your air conditioner to cool your house for a week while nobody is there, but when I return home from a vacation, I don’t want to walk into a very warm house. When I used to turn my air conditioner off before I left, I would walk into a house that was nearly 90 degrees. That is not a good way to get comfortable after a vacation. The same thing happens when I adjusted my furnace. I would adjust the furnace to keep the house just above freezing while I was away, but it was always freezing cold when I came back. For a long time, I just decided to never adjust the thermostat. I would leave my HVAC units set tot he same temperatures the entire time, and I would come back to a comfortable house. However, now, I am able to adjust my thermostats again. I have a wifi thermostat, so I can turn my HVAC unit back on when I am heading home. This way, I can save money and still be comfortable when I return. Does anyone else have the same problem that I did?
