Getting old, getting cold

I keep the house about 67 or 68* during the winter, maybe a couple degrees colder at bedtime.

During the winter about 66 at all times. I turned it up if i have guests.

Good God, I'd freeze at those temps. I told myself when I got out of college, as long as I had a job, I was going to live comfortably!! And I have been for 20 years. It stays 73-74 in the summer and 71-72 in the winter. If I get cold, I'll bump it up, or vice versa. Our thermostat at work is whacked and I'm either freezing or too damned hot. Home is my castle and my refuge - it's going to be what I think is comfortable. 72-73 is a fine temperature year round.

It has nothing to do with money for me. I like it colder. I sleep with a fan on all year round.
