Hi guys! Here for another round of "is it frugal or just plain stupid", lol. I am getting completely conflicting answers from the ole Google.
I was having a conversation with my mom the other day about the temperature we keep our places at. She was absolutely floored that I have never turned the heat on in my apartment in the winter. We both live in a subtropical climate but the two months of the year where temp's outside drop below 50°F regularly (usually at night) is Jan-Feb. The average temp in my apartment is thus around 64°F during the day, and 60°F at night.
She knows I rarely use the AC, too, so I didn't think it was much of a surprise but she was concerned I would be more susceptible to catching a cold/COVID etc. if I continue to do this. Lol. I reminded her that cold weather isn't what makes people sick, but now I'm second guessing given everything I've found on the internet regarding the subject so far? It seems like the general consensus is that room temperature is standardized for a reason.
