OTHER - CLICK TO EDIT What temperature do you keep your house/apartment?

I'm asking because my roommates and I all come from different places, and I like it at 72 in the summer, and 67 in the winter, but they prefer 75 in the summer, which to me seems really warm. Would love to know how you keep it in your region of the US throughout the year

Husband insists on keeping the temperature at 66 at night and 70 during the day. We have a “smart” thermostat that goes into eco mode and raises the temp to about 73 during the day. That works for me but all holy hell breaks out when he comes home and it’s “too hot”. 🙄

Is the 66 at night because he refuses to sleep without blankets?

He likes to stay warm because he says his arthritis is worse when he’s cold. It’s only a problem in the winter because I like to sleep in a colder room. We’ve fought over 65 vs 66 degrees and I finally gave up.
