how cold does it have to get for you to turn the heat on?

So I just looked at the thermostat and its 52 degrees inside my apartment. I was considering turning the heat on cause 52 is a little nippy... I ended up just throwing a sweat shirt on cause I'm gonna try and keep my bill as cheap as possible for as long as possible (ill have to turn up a little eventually cause I've gotta keep the shrooms happy haha). Anyway just curious what the breaking point was with the coldness for you guys.
Ps. If you don't have to pay utilities or live somewhere where its warm enough for no heat all winter I hate you

Do you have to get gas cut on or you just haven't decided to flip the switch over yet?

ahah seriously! 52 is damn cold last year I lived without heat until beginning of December in Chicago. I wore jeans, hoodie and then a robe over that
this year I started turning the heat on about a month ago keep it at 70 usually. atm its 30 degrees here in chitown and the heat is bumpin. my last bill was 80 which isn't bad at all split by two, compared to last year in my old apt where we were getting OUTRAGEOUS bills

i've turned the heat on once so far, and that was because i had a girl over, so i didn't wanna seem cheap and make her uncomfortable.
i don't know what temp it'll have to be. i don't have a thermostat.. or central air

Its going to be about 40 tonight, and i have my windows open. 
I love the cold, feels great after a long hot sticky summer in FL. If it begins to freeze, ill start a fire. I try to go as long as possible w/o the heat.

i'm normally not bothered by the cold. i however, do not live alone, and my mum turns the heat on when she's cold (which is usually at like 60 or so). if i'm home alone and i find it nippy inside i'll just throw on some extra warm clothes and snuggle up with a blanket in front of a movie because i'd rather not run the heat.
plus, whenever anyone runs the heat my room gets really fucking warm, like uncomfortably warm. the rest of the house can be pretty chilly, but my room is usually a decent temp. only rarely does it get cold. in fact, it's usually too warm. right now it's all cozy even though it's a little chilly downstairs.
i usually only turn on the heat if it drops below 50, but that doesn't happen often here. it can be 50 outside, but it's usually a good 65 in here. 65 is nice, i think.

Pretty sure shrooms don't like 52.
Me.. I'm living in a place with old school radiator heating that is shared between the whole building, the heat didn't get turned on until sometime last week, it was getting as cold as 35-40 in here. Finally they turned it on but it comes on automatically at a certain temp or something. Now it gets too hot so I have to open a window.

err - 50 inside is as cold as we let it get - i have lots of plants and a cat to think about. we own our own home - so it gets super drafty - and to heat it up is very expensive - so its 4 shirts and sweatpants until your so padded you look like one of those guys who works with attack dogs.

I have other sensitive organisms in the house besides myself and the girlfriend. I can wear sweaters etc down to 50 but plenty of organisms in the house get real upset if it gets below 65. Not to mention the girlfriend too.

Ha, its like my old man always told me. If its too cold, get a sweater. Still too cold, get a jacket. Still too cold?! Take em both off, and stand outside for a half hour. When you come back in it will be nice and toasty.
Woot, I get to light a fire tonight. Nothin quite like a mug of tea, a good book and a crackling fire.

Haha yea I know shrooms don't like 52. I've got a TiT setup with a 150 watt fish tank heater I'm really just worried about burning it out since its running pretty much constanly.
35-40? FUCK THAT! if it goes below 50 the heat is definitely gettin turned. Ill be gone this weekend and most of next week for thanksgiving so I'm hopin to hold out with the heat till then.

The temp never goes below 60F in my room. If it drops to 59F the heater is on, usually it's stable around 65-75F average
