Exactly what I like. If I am absolutely freezing for one reason or another I'll crank it up to 70 or 71 then let it slowly settle back down to its programmed levels.

Thermostat is set to heat at 70, but we'll drop that to about 68 at night. Right now, it's 78 indoors, but we've opened windows to cool it down some. It's about 73 outside. We refuse to switch AC on in the winter. Gotta love the desert. 
I like it around 60-65º in the winter, which sometimes means that the AC has to come on in the winter. I really hate the hot weather here

same here... the last month has had more hot days than cold ones here in Cali.

Around 64 during the day. Back down to 62 when in bed. 68-70 so they don't freeze.

We keep it at about 69 degrees.
And we push well over $300 a month for electricity. We also live in a house that is over 50 years old and has single pane windows.

Yeah we all talked about that (there is 8 of us), and we actually have foam over the windows in the living room.
But still, the people who own our house suck and wouldn't even think of doing some minor upgrades.
73-74. I hate the cold like a true southerner. Now in the summer my apartment will sit at 80-84 and I am just fine with that.
Frost King shrink film insulation with ever so lovable double sided tape and a hair dryer.
I usually bounce between 68 and 74. I would have it colder but I think the girlfriend would freeze and I just can't have that happening.
I want to lower mine to reduce my heating bill. It is just I REALLY REALLY hate being cold and I get cold easily.
73 is cold for me. I wear a hoody or some type of sweat shirt most of the winter.

I feel better now, I am not the only one who doesn't like my house feeling like a freezer.
70 degrees is too cold for all of us
EDIT: we keep our heat at least at 76 degrees
I tend to keep the heat off in the day (keep in mind this is in Georgia) and open the windows at night cause I love cold fresh air. In NYC, our dorm is centrally heated though we have heaters in the room...I still like to open the windows at night here, too. I usually wake up cold but that's incentive to get my butt moving and go shut the window.
They're called "window insulating kits"; Frost king was mentioned above. You put double sided tape around the window, on the molding, stick the plastic on, then use a hair drier to heat the plastic so it shrinks down smooth and clear. It doesn't interfer with your vision, out the window.
