I tend to leave mine at 74-75. it also helps having my fans on and circulating the air. I know to some that is too hot, so let's hear them!

I set mine at 75. And even with that I am cold sometimes. I leave fans on too.

Mine is set at 78. I have a high tolerance for both heat and cold, so it comes down to whatever number that pleases the lady of the house.

I need a new thermostat. OR one that measures the temperature in my bedroom not in an interior downstairs hallway.
Best I can do is cool off the house, turn off the a/c and use the fan to keep circulating air. I use the ceiling fan and a standing fan in my room.
I just put in new double glazed windows-hope that helps. I want the upstairs at 70-72 but that doesn't happen without over cooling the basement.
I just checked-my a/c is not running 92degrees outside, thermostat set at 72
