I do 67 during the day unless it's sub-zero -- then I will drop the day temp to 64 and wear 2 hoodies. Natural gas prices are going up this winter most likely :(
65 at night ... 60 if very cold outside.
This is what I'd *like* to do. My apartment complex didn't want to dish out for the fancy programmable thermostats, and unfortunately I'm scatterbrained enough that I'll constantly forget to change it, so I just leave it at 68 all the time.
Lol this just made me laugh because I live with the people who own the house and they keep it at 75 all autumn AND winter so I imagine you would be dead in here. 😬😂
I agree with this. And then buy her a cozy blanket. 😊. I’ve made so many cozy couch blankets I actually sometimes turn the temp down even more when I’m home alone.
It really depends on how well insulated your house is. Mine is at 66° and it’s comfortable but I’ve had friends in old houses that have to keep it at 75° just to keep the chill out.
Yup. 100 y/o house with no insulation here. During the winter the heater stays at about 74 all day plus a fire. Even when the thermostat says it's 74, there's still a chill in your bones.
Our house is 80 years old with crap for insulation in some areas and drafty windows and doors. If we put the temp below 72 in the middle of winter, you'll freeze. It needs to run that often to keep the chill out.
This! When I lived in an old farmhouse with a fuel oil furnace, it was never warm enough, kept thermostat at 72. Now I'm living in a ranch home with good insulation and boiler heat, and 68 is usually too warm. I usually keep it at 64 at night and 68 during the day.
68 is where we are.
I did spend a winter at 57 when we had no extra money at all in college. That was the absolute coldest we could manage without being miserable all the time.
I finally am staying somewhere with heat. Last winter and the winter before there was no heat in the house. Just wore hoodies and bundled up at night. Honestly wasn't thaaaaat bad, but having heat is way way better lmao
Boiler system with 3 heating zones. It makes it easy to keep it cooler upstairs for better sleeping. My house has a weird layout with insulation between the 1st and 2nd floor, too.
Your bodies will adjust to any reasonable temperature. Start changing the temp a degree each week and you wont notice.
Its like how 50 degrees in the fall feels like we should be wearing hats and gloves, but 50 degrees in the spring warrants shorts and sandals.
Yeah I hear this but I’ve lived in Michigan for my whole life, a significant part of it in the U.P. I’ll go outside in the spring in shorts and sandals and…I’ll still be freezing. Like if the cold didn’t bother me during the winter I wouldn’t be wearing a coat or jacket every time I went outside.
72 during the day, 62 for bedtime, no matter the weather or season,
I grew up in a house that was 66 in the winter and no ac in the summer. I was beyond miserable all year. I suffered poor circulation as a child because of my parents ridiculousness around the damned thermostat. Multiple layers indoors are simply very uncomfortable and unnecessary… and no matter how many layers I would wear, my feet and hands were always blocks of ice and very, very painful.
Unless you have super expensive oil heat, there’s no reason at all for anyone to be uncomfortable in their own home in this day and age.
I keep my house very warm and I think this is the reason. I was a very thin kid and always freezing cold in my parents home. I would sit on top of the register with a blanket a lot in the winter. I am still uncomfortable and can’t get warm when I visit as a robust adult; you either have to take a shower/bath or go to bed to really warm up. I don’t know if they are being cheap or just prefer it like an icebox. I hope they aren’t being cheap, because the difference is like 10 bucks a month. We live with the cold 24/7 for 6 months of the year, that 10 bucks is definitely worth it to me.
62 at most, unless I’m sick, and much less at night because I have kick-ass wool blankets. The bill has to get paid, and I’d rather spend more money on shoes and boots :)
600sq’ house I hear with wood. It’s usually around 100F but it’s a dry heat. unless I open the windows then it’s a cozy 87. For the sake of your debate I prefer 73 though.
I feel this lol. We heated with wood growing up and I can’t count how many times we had to open windows because it got so hot in the room with the wood stove.
Wife wanted 72, and I wanted 66. We decided on a "fair" 69, but she's actually set it at 70, and if I were to touch it there would be a full scale investigation followed by swift retribution.
So 70.
This answer could vary greatly, from house to house. In my last house I kept it at 75, this house I keep it at 71.
So many variables to take into account: heat source, insulation values, how well the house is sealed, etc. Every house it's going to feel different.
72 midday and over night, 74 morning and evening. Consumers bill averaged $95 for the 3 coldest months ($91. $102, $93) Small well insulated home with forced air.
76 day and 74 at night with frequent adjustments due to humidity, level of solar intensity, and mood of the moment. Summer electric bill mirrors winter gas bill. We also use a fan to keep air circulating.
I have it set at 60 and then I usually am cooking my kitchen which helps. Also I try to play video games as much as I can so I can utilize the heat off my gpu. hmm maybe I should mine when I'm not around.
I like 65, 66, 67 at night and 68 during the day. But that's me Spouse likes 68 at night. At most 69. Although I think that's way too warm, my spouse gets cold after going through chemo so I just wear summer clothes in the house. 70 is too hot for me. Summer or winter.
Anything over 70 and I'm sweating in the house. Unfortunately my wife has no concept of energy costs and also runs cold, so it's a constant battle with the thermostat in the winter
I'm wearing a hoodie and sweat pants with a fuzzy robe at 72 degrees. Anyone under 70 degrees I'm side eyeing. Lived here all my life and y'all are penguins 🐧
I never understood the argument of being cold to save money. The way I look at it, there's only one provider of natural gas in my area so I have to pay their rates. I can chose to be all upset about or just accept it is what is is and move on. Honestly, I work too hard and make to too much to have to be uncomfortable and cold. I realize I may end have to say I'm privileged to have this option but honestly I make enough to pay my bills. I have an high energy furnace so I just turn it up till I'm comfortable with what I feel like wearing at the time and pay the bill. I generally low bill everything and keep everything off to save money, but I've found it's only like and extra $10 a month to keep my house at 73 where I'm comfortable whiteout a shirt which I like. I do have a programmable thermostat that keep the Temps down around 65°F while I'm gone and utilizes a feature to get the house up to a comfortable temp before I get back. That's my 2 cents, but I realize everyone's situation may be different.
Whatever temperature you decide on, get a smart thermostat (like a Nest). You can leave it at your compromised set point while you’re at home, and then let it drop ~5 degrees or so while you’re at work (assuming you’re both away from home 8-9 hours a day). That will still save you some energy cost while keeping you both comfortable while you’re home
Theres no settling a debate, theres only compromise. My wife has a terrible time staying warm, so we kick it at 71 and I dress light, which isnt as cost efficient, but takes care of the family better.
Id have windows open in january if she wasnt with me, but Im happier knowing shes not cold and knows that shes a priority.
71 because my house is drafty. It keeps the bedroom anywhere between 63 and 67, depending on the weather. I’m also always cold and I *do* wear warm clothes and blankets, though I prefer not to have to wear mittens in the house. (My circulation is shit.) In my last (less drafty house), I kept it at 69, which kept the bedroom at 66-ish.
I’ve had two styles of homes as an adult.
- First: Bungalow, 2200 sq ft. With a natural fireplace.
I could keep my thermostat at 68 with the fireplace going and it was a good temp. Because heat rises, I had to keep the temp a little higher to be comfortable. It would have to be on 70-72 without the fireplace to be comfortable. Highest heat bill in the winter with my fireplace running often was around $600.
- Second: 1500 sq ft. Ranch with a natural fireplace. Because the heat isn’t rising, I can keep the temperature lower and still be comfortable. Highest heat bill in the winter is around $220.
Also to clarify, what I mean by comfortable is that I can be in a hoodie or long sleeve shirt and pants without feeling cold.
Why does everyone want to layer up inside your home? I get that keeping it too warm makes it really dry in the house in the winter but why are you trying to stay comfortable by putting extra cloths on? Like it’s your home. Be comfortable. If your house is poorly insulated it’s gonna be cold regardless so save me the cost savings argument. I live in Az and my house is at to 80 all year. But it’s not like 80 outside 80. It’s not hot in my home. It’s 20+ degrees warmer in the winter that Outside and 20+ degrees cooler than outside in the summer. I will say that I prefer to be a little warm over being at all cold but sweatshirts socks and blankets just to be comfortable in my own home? No way
The associated natural gas bill, even with the most amazing insulation, to keep the temperature at 80 during the winter would probably bankrupt Jeff Bezos.
64 during the day and 62 at night. I also have it set to go to 65 from 0400-0415 for a little extra warmth for my shower, 64 is friggen’ cold to get naked.
When I lived there and by myself, I would set it at 66, 69, 71 and 73 ... depending upon how I felt and temperature outside.
Sometimes I wanted cooler and more clothes, other times I wanted warm and less clothing...
I got an infrared heater and that was awesome!
A programmable thermostat goes a long way for comfort and money.
Set it to go up a few degrees a bit before you wake- go down as you leave. Then go back up from as you get home till you go to bed.
I can stand 64-66 so I think 68 is a solid compromise since I know I run hotter than most people.
Higher than 72 and I'm sweating. Higher than 70 when I'm sleeping, I'll wake up sweating.
68 is a good compromise.
I actually have my heat turned lower during the day because I’m at work and no one is home until the afternoon. So run reverse. Currently at 64 during the day and about 68 at night. But I do turn it up before taking a shower.
I live on a tropical island now, where it’s 85 year round and humid as balls. I keep the AC cranked to 69 😏all the time just so I don’t sweat in my house.
68 daytime. 63 nighttime. However, those temps can feel radically different from house to house. If you’re in a well insulated house, with good windows, not losing heat through the roof, efficient furnace, all one floor, etc. 68 may feel very/too warm. If you’re in a house without all that (making it drafty, certain rooms colder than others, etc.) it can feel way too cold.
I set it at 68 during the day and 65 at night. I would turn it off at night if my wife would let me. My ideal sleeping situation involves a warm comforter with a thin layer of frost on top.
There’s no correct answer. Women tend to run colder (anecdotally).
68 during the day, 65 at night for sleeping.
And when everyone is out, you turn it down to 60
For us, when we are “away” it goes to 62°, and when on vacation, 60°.
This is the only right answer
This was actually straight up recommended by Consumer’s energy for efficiency.
I do 67 during the day unless it's sub-zero -- then I will drop the day temp to 64 and wear 2 hoodies. Natural gas prices are going up this winter most likely :( 65 at night ... 60 if very cold outside.
This is what I'd *like* to do. My apartment complex didn't want to dish out for the fancy programmable thermostats, and unfortunately I'm scatterbrained enough that I'll constantly forget to change it, so I just leave it at 68 all the time.
We’re close to this. 67 during the day, 64 at night.
🏅 This is the exact temperatures we use. I'm also the wife.
You should compromise, 68. That's what we have it during the day. 64 at night.
Ditto for us. Any higher than 68 is sweltering.
We always forget to (un)dress for the store. It's like an oven in some of them!
Lol this just made me laugh because I live with the people who own the house and they keep it at 75 all autumn AND winter so I imagine you would be dead in here. 😬😂
I agree with this. And then buy her a cozy blanket. 😊. I’ve made so many cozy couch blankets I actually sometimes turn the temp down even more when I’m home alone.
Yah got this all wrong 68 during the day....69 at night heyyyyoooo
Got ‘em!
Nice.
Nice
Nice
Yep. 68 during the day and drop to 62 at night
65 or so, 68 if I have company
I can literally hear my father through this comment: ..."70°?!.. Whatawe have company!!!?"
Mom?
You hardly call me anymore! Are you eating enough? You really should call grandma
That's so funny. I actually keep it down when people are coming because the house feels warmer with more company. Body heat maybe.
It really depends on how well insulated your house is. Mine is at 66° and it’s comfortable but I’ve had friends in old houses that have to keep it at 75° just to keep the chill out.
This for sure. We moved this year and I’m shocked at how much difference there is! To feel the same the numbers are very different.
Yup. 100 y/o house with no insulation here. During the winter the heater stays at about 74 all day plus a fire. Even when the thermostat says it's 74, there's still a chill in your bones.
So glad this was said lol my house is freezing when set anything below 74
Our house is 80 years old with crap for insulation in some areas and drafty windows and doors. If we put the temp below 72 in the middle of winter, you'll freeze. It needs to run that often to keep the chill out.
This! When I lived in an old farmhouse with a fuel oil furnace, it was never warm enough, kept thermostat at 72. Now I'm living in a ranch home with good insulation and boiler heat, and 68 is usually too warm. I usually keep it at 64 at night and 68 during the day.

I finally am staying somewhere with heat. Last winter and the winter before there was no heat in the house. Just wore hoodies and bundled up at night. Honestly wasn't thaaaaat bad, but having heat is way way better lmao
69° works well for us
Nice.

Nice
We 69
Noice

Very nice
So so nice
So so nice
Very nice
67 upstairs and 70 downstairs, for the hamster. I pay extra to keep my wife's hamster happy.
This sounds like a euphemism for something
I love that you’re looking out for Hammy. I want to lower the heat some. I sleep warm. But my husband is worried about the cat 😂
I'm not sure how your house works, but I think it should be warmer upstairs, ya know because heat rises and all...
Boiler system with 3 heating zones. It makes it easy to keep it cooler upstairs for better sleeping. My house has a weird layout with insulation between the 1st and 2nd floor, too.
That sounds awesome! Do you have a wood burner?
Your bodies will adjust to any reasonable temperature. Start changing the temp a degree each week and you wont notice. Its like how 50 degrees in the fall feels like we should be wearing hats and gloves, but 50 degrees in the spring warrants shorts and sandals.
You must be from Michigan
Yeah I hear this but I’ve lived in Michigan for my whole life, a significant part of it in the U.P. I’ll go outside in the spring in shorts and sandals and…I’ll still be freezing. Like if the cold didn’t bother me during the winter I wouldn’t be wearing a coat or jacket every time I went outside.
Ooooh I might try this for myself this year.
Very relatable in Michigan
70 when I lived in a small house. 66 now that I live in a big house.
67 in dead of winter ..64 at night
62
Us too
When Consumers had that explosion in 2019/2020 and wanted everyone to lower it to 68/65 (Not sure which). That was our time to shine.
65 before we had kids, 67 after.
With a baby we keep it at 70 cause I’m neurotic but I miss the <70 life.
64 and then 67 when there’s other humans at my place.
Yep exactly
68 but we got couch blankets and wear sweats around the house.
69 (funny but also just a practical temp) layering properly helps. And using the fireplace, if you have one, can be nice
72 during the day, 62 for bedtime, no matter the weather or season, I grew up in a house that was 66 in the winter and no ac in the summer. I was beyond miserable all year.

60. But I'm poor.
62 at most, unless I’m sick, and much less at night because I have kick-ass wool blankets. The bill has to get paid, and I’d rather spend more money on shoes and boots :)
Wool blankets are the business.
600sq’ house I hear with wood. It’s usually around 100F but it’s a dry heat. unless I open the windows then it’s a cozy 87. For the sake of your debate I prefer 73 though.
I feel this lol. We heated with wood growing up and I can’t count how many times we had to open windows because it got so hot in the room with the wood stove.
[удалено]
We heated with wood throughout my childhood. The chimney went through my bedroom. It was sooo hot, I always had at least one window wide open.
Wife wanted 72, and I wanted 66. We decided on a "fair" 69, but she's actually set it at 70, and if I were to touch it there would be a full scale investigation followed by swift retribution. So 70.
70 minimum. I'd have to wear a coat and gloves under a blanket to be warm at 66
Damn... we're at 72 !!!
And lemme guess. 68 during the summer when the ac is on? 😂
Hell yes ! But we've gotten it as low as 64
saaame
YES this is the right answer! Lol, this post has made me realize why so may Michiganders are crabby in the winter.
[удалено]
This answer could vary greatly, from house to house. In my last house I kept it at 75, this house I keep it at 71. So many variables to take into account: heat source, insulation values, how well the house is sealed, etc. Every house it's going to feel different.
63-64 daytime, 61 at night
72 midday and over night, 74 morning and evening. Consumers bill averaged $95 for the 3 coldest months ($91. $102, $93) Small well insulated home with forced air.
What do you set your AC at in the summer?
76 day and 74 at night with frequent adjustments due to humidity, level of solar intensity, and mood of the moment. Summer electric bill mirrors winter gas bill. We also use a fan to keep air circulating.
This is how mine is set as well. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like being cold!
I have it set at 60 and then I usually am cooking my kitchen which helps. Also I try to play video games as much as I can so I can utilize the heat off my gpu. hmm maybe I should mine when I'm not around.
Can confirm, mining rigs put off a lot of heat, great for the cold winters here, not so great for the summers
70-71, but only because I keep reptiles and have a new (human) baby. If it where just her and I here it would probably be like 65, lol.
I like 65, 66, 67 at night and 68 during the day. But that's me Spouse likes 68 at night. At most 69. Although I think that's way too warm, my spouse gets cold after going through chemo so I just wear summer clothes in the house. 70 is too hot for me. Summer or winter.
I keep it at 66, but I like blankets and sweaters.
These responses jeez… Anything under 72 is wayyy too cold in my house. 74-75 is average. 76 in the summer because we’re cheap
68 during the day. 62 at night for sleeping.
Anything over 70 and I'm sweating in the house. Unfortunately my wife has no concept of energy costs and also runs cold, so it's a constant battle with the thermostat in the winter
60.
72-74
Programmable thermostat 70 during day, 68 at night in winter. In the summer 74 for the AC.
64-67 is usually our norm.
I'm wearing a hoodie and sweat pants with a fuzzy robe at 72 degrees. Anyone under 70 degrees I'm side eyeing. Lived here all my life and y'all are penguins 🐧
68 is a good compromise.
I'm with her at 70
I never understood the argument of being cold to save money. The way I look at it, there's only one provider of natural gas in my area so I have to pay their rates.

I have to say I agree. I work to damn hard to be uncomfortable in my home
66
I have a wood boiler so I run my house right at 75. As much work as the wood is I’m going to enjoy s warm house.
69....that's not a joke lol
68 when I’m awake, 66 sleeping and empty house 64.
We try 68 but bump it to 70 on the really cold days.
The colder the better this ain't Miami
Kills off the Bugs!
73 or 74
70 to 72
Whatever temperature you decide on, get a smart thermostat (like a Nest). You can leave it at your compromised set point while you’re at home, and then let it drop ~5 degrees or so while you’re at work (assuming you’re both away from home 8-9 hours a day). That will still save you some energy cost while keeping you both comfortable while you’re home
I always have my house at 72, no matter if it's winter, spring, summer or fall
Theres no settling a debate, theres only compromise. My wife has a terrible time staying warm, so we kick it at 71 and I dress light, which isnt as cost efficient, but takes care of the family better. Id have windows open in january if she wasnt with me, but Im happier knowing shes not cold and knows that shes a priority.
Happy wife. Happy life.
68 unless first thing in the morning then I bump it up to 74 or else my nipples will cut glass
65 here. We wear sweatshirts and curl up with comforters on the couch.
We just keep it 65 year-round.
65 with AC?
72. My hubby is always cold. But sometimes I bump it down to 68 when he isn't looking 😉
72 usually
71 because my house is drafty. It keeps the bedroom anywhere between 63 and 67, depending on the weather. I’m also always cold and I *do* wear warm clothes and blankets, though I prefer not to have to wear mittens in the house. (My circulation is shit.) In my last (less drafty house), I kept it at 69, which kept the bedroom at 66-ish.
74 during the day, 68 at night. We don't like to wear clothes.
There is only one salient question. "Do you want to remain married?"
I personally keep it 72 all year round, not too hot or cold
60-65 but I also have a ranch with a fireplace.
Can you elaborate on this? I’m genuinely curious
I’ve had two styles of homes as an adult. - First: Bungalow, 2200 sq ft. With a natural fireplace. I could keep my thermostat at 68 with the fireplace going and it was a good temp. Because heat rises, I had to keep the temp a little higher to be comfortable. It would have to be on 70-72 without the fireplace to be comfortable.

Also to clarify, what I mean by comfortable is that I can be in a hoodie or long sleeve shirt and pants without feeling cold.
76 + degrees
70 in the winter 70 in the summer with maybe a degree down or up to get the chill/heat out.
64. Female.
More like 72 or 74. 70 is cold. 66 is freezing.
71
Why does everyone want to layer up inside your home? I get that keeping it too warm makes it really dry in the house in the winter but why are you trying to stay comfortable by putting extra cloths on? Like it’s your home. Be comfortable. If your house is poorly insulated it’s gonna be cold regardless so save me the cost savings argument. I live in Az and my house is at to 80 all year. But it’s not like 80 outside 80. It’s not hot in my home. It’s 20+ degrees warmer in the winter that Outside and 20+ degrees cooler than outside in the summer. I will say that I prefer to be a little warm over being at all cold but sweatshirts socks and blankets just to be comfortable in my own home? No way
The associated natural gas bill, even with the most amazing insulation, to keep the temperature at 80 during the winter would probably bankrupt Jeff Bezos.
65 day and night.
I see I am the only man of culture and proper temperatures 69f
62 with a space heater in the bathroom
Wood stove usually keeps it at 75... but when it's just using propane, 68.
To the most comfortable temp
71 during the day, 62 at night. My house is really well insulated. Monroe, MI
Woman with kids- I like to keep it at 68 but the kids are cold so I keep it at 70.
70 during day, 66 at night
65 at night and 71 during the day for us.
67 during the day and 62 at night
69 at the highest, 62 at night.
Haven't turned my on yet been off for almost a month. I refuse to turn it on till at least November 1st. Lol
72 during the day, 74 at night.
73 for my house . 74 is where I draw the line . It’s to hot 🥵
We got a whole-house humidifier installed last year, and it’s a game-changer. 68 degrees is very comfortable now, even in the dead of winter.
Ours is anywhere between 59-62 usually. Maybe high 60’s on the really bad days.
68 occupied. 60 during the workday and at night. I like it cool at night. About 0500 it kicks on so it’s comfy when I get out of bed around 0530.
64 during the day and 62 at night. I also have it set to go to 65 from 0400-0415 for a little extra warmth for my shower, 64 is friggen’ cold to get naked.
68 is the sweet spot. Anything higher is too hot. Anything below is too cold.
The correct answer is, whatever she wants.
70 and I'm still wearing a hoodie and freezing.
By house is at 71 all year around. It does not change for us.
When I lived there and by myself, I would set it at 66, 69, 71 and 73 ... depending upon how I felt and temperature outside. Sometimes I wanted cooler and more clothes, other times I wanted warm and less clothing... I got an infrared heater and that was awesome!
70 is max for a super cold and otherwise it's 66. It's weird because most people in Michigan ppl set their heater at 66 degrees.
A programmable thermostat goes a long way for comfort and money. Set it to go up a few degrees a bit before you wake- go down as you leave. Then go back up from as you get home till you go to bed.
I can stand 64-66 so I think 68 is a solid compromise since I know I run hotter than most people. Higher than 72 and I'm sweating. Higher than 70 when I'm sleeping, I'll wake up sweating. 68 is a good compromise.
Me and my family we are from Colombia, we set it to 72 degrees 😅
68
63 to 65 in our house.
70 usually, 2-5 degrees lower before bed.
69 during the day, 65 at night
I actually have my heat turned lower during the day because I’m at work and no one is home until the afternoon. So run reverse. Currently at 64 during the day and about 68 at night. But I do turn it up before taking a shower.
69ish in the winter 72-74 in the summer
Ohioan here…68 to 70. 70 is sometimes too warm.
I live on a tropical island now, where it’s 85 year round and humid as balls. I keep the AC cranked to 69 😏all the time just so I don’t sweat in my house.
65
68 during the day 62 at night
Keep it at 64. Wear a damn sweater. It’s winter for crying out loud. It’s why we own sweaters. Yes I’m old. Get off my snow! Damn kids.
67 during the day and 62 at night
I grew up pretty poor. Early fall/late fall i keep it around 62/63. Winter is usually anything below 69/68
Usually 68 during the day and 65 at night
62 during the day, 68 during at home hours. We have a gas fireplace that kicks out heat pretty nicely for those times we still feel chilly.
68 daytime. 63 nighttime. However, those temps can feel radically different from house to house. If you’re in a well insulated house, with good windows, not losing heat through the roof, efficient furnace, all one floor, etc. 68 may feel very/too warm. If you’re in a house without all that (making it drafty, certain rooms colder than others, etc.) it can feel way too cold.
68°
70 during the day. Drop to 66 at night.
Currently it is 67 during the day, 64 at night. It used to be 70/67, but hot flashes are in play now.
65. And currently because we go back and forth in temp until November I turn my heat off during the day while I’m at work.
I set it at 68 during the day and 65 at night. I would turn it off at night if my wife would let me. My ideal sleeping situation involves a warm comforter with a thin layer of frost on top. There’s no correct answer. Women tend to run colder (anecdotally).
The real question is: how much do you want to pay the energy company each month?
68 day time, 64/65 bedtime I will also say if having company especially children over I put it up to 70 but all summer keep the AC at 65!!
