68 to cold even 70 sometimes unless I’m doing something. 71 or 72 is better. I’m getting too old to be freezing. I grew up in a warmer climate and now living in a colder climate. My body still likes the warm weather.
68 degrees it's too cold for me in winter time
Tips: Make your house colder and buy stuff to keep you warm.

68 degrees lol. I live in a Mediterranean climate and am experimenting with keeping my furnace off this winter. All it takes is the right clothing and a large dehumidifier.
I've got a better idea. Don't live in California where the energy costs are astronomically high
Do NOT close vents in unused rooms. It can damge your HVAC system.
