70-75 for us. I like it nice and toasty.

I like between 75-80 people come over and make fun of me because it feels like a sauna, I have 3 blankets including a electric one on my bed just to top it off, I hate getting out of my warm bed!!

Too hot and I feel like I can't breathe but I can't stand being chilled either. I think it's about 70-75.
My bed is something else though ... I have to be warm! Body heat, flannel or fleece sheets, a down duvet and a quilt over top of that :)

I prefer it down around 65, but Pat likes to have it up on 75. Good thing we don't pay for our heat.

We may turn ours on for about a month out of the year, and we don't like it under 70 degrees. :)

Our place stays about 70 degrees all year around. But I still get cold sometimes, DH is always hot so I just wear more clothes or snuggle with blankets on the couch with the dogs.

During the winter we set ours on 68. That is a little cool for me, but I just wear lots of clothes. I also have flannel sheets and lots of blankets. If it wasn't for Justin and our roommate I would probably set it at 72 or so in the winter.
Last winter our house was really cold inside. After the hurricane our house was uninhabitable. We stayed with my parents while it was being fixed. We moved back in when it was partially finished and the insulation had not been put back in. The insulation was not in until February or something like that. We had a tarp on the roof until early December. It got pretty chilly.

I prefer our house to be around 72 degrees. But right now it is cold at around 66 degrees. I am freezing. This old house needs insulation.

65-70 degrees. I hate when our heater turns on in our new apartment. Its kind of loud and the place its so hot and stuffy even with our humidifier running.

We set ours to about 74-75 but there are lots of drafts in this place so it registers at just above 70. Our bedroom is the worst so we have a down comforter, flannel sheets, 2 cats and of course eachother to keep warm.
Darn apartments! I can't wait until we have a house.

Ours is around 70-75 in the living room but the kitchen and other rooms (farther away from the gas logs) stay cooler. I have two blankets on our bed and once he gets home at night I don't get cold...

I like it about 65°-70° but sometimes Craig thinks it's too warm so it's usually closer to 65°.

For kicks I just looked to see what the temp is in here. It is 71 inside the house right now. Outside they said the high was supposed to be 65. We have not turned our heater on yet this year. I'm sure we will soon. Last night the low was in the upper 30's. I love the cooler weather and can't wait for it to get colder!

I try to keep mine set just under 70. I dont like it took hot but I dont like being cold either. Our bedroom is on the 3rd floor ( we have an apt. that starts on the second floor ) so we get the heat the most as it rises. My daughters is up there too, my sons is off the kitchen so I make sure he is in warm pj's so the rest of us dont have to sweat to death so he can be warm. I hate sleeping when it is too hot.

I grew up in a home that heated with wood stoves.... so I naturally want things warmer... Usually the temp in the house is anywhere between 78 and 85.... However, DH and I aren't going to be living with my folks much longer and the apartment we're pretty sure we're going to get heats with natural gas... so I'm going to freeze all winter! No more 85 degree house. Sigh.
