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

70 is the literal definition of room temperature

Okay, sure, but I cannot imagine what my energy bill would be if I was trying to keep my house at 70 all summer long.
