Andtototoo said:When dh and I were first married, we were poor. We kept the house at 58 degrees. I am naturally cold anyway and it was horrible for me. I walked around inside with a hat, coat and gloves on and when I was sitting down, I had a quilt on my lap. That was no way to live. Channeling Scarlett O'Hara, I vowed then, "As god is my witness, I'll never be this cold inside my own house again."
And I'm not. The heat goes on when the temp in my house gets below 68 degrees. If I had to get an extra job to keep the heat where I need it, I would.
In the summer, we keep the A/C set at 78 or so.
Lol, 58 is way too cold for me. I'm like you in that I'm always cold, so no way am I going to be cold in my house. We usually keep the heat at 68 at night and during the day we keep it at 72, 73.
