Today, my parents have kept their bet going about not turning the heat on all season. I woke up this morning to it being the same temperature inside as it was outside. It's snowing out there. FML

It's not only a bet; it's a test of pride. Also know as a fight to the death. You are a casualty of war. Congratulations.

The cost of the hospital bill when your entire family gets pneumonia will be a lot higher than the heat bill.

My parents do that here in Minnesota, where it gets to negative 40 degrees F and my room doesnt have insulation... Way past snowing

My parents are also Eskimos it seems, and unfortunately not because of a heat bill, they are really just comfortable with the freezing temperature. Luckily they have come to understand that I am a warm climate creature and bought an electric blanket for me last Christmas. So I may be confined to hiding under my blanket most of the winter, but hey at least I'm not an ice pop ^_^

Buy a personal mini heater for your bedroom and blast that sucker until it's a "toasty" 65 degrees... Your parents can still have their silly bet, and you will be warmer than them! If they criticize it or don't like it, tell them that if you were a dog forced to stay in a shed that cold, it could count as animal cruelty.

I know exactly how you feel, my room is cold enough for my breath to be visible a lot of the time because my house mates are really against having the heating on because "it costs too much" (yet they bought a tv license; evidently that's more important). I hope your parents regain sanity soon. Maybe you could get a personal heater for your room if you have the money for it - they can't complain, you're doing it for the sake of your health. It's what I did in the end. Life is so much more bearable with this thing xD

Sounds exactly like my parents! Both are doctors and make good money, but they are so cheap. I remember freezing in the winters at my childhood home, because they refused to turn the thermostat up to a comfortable temperature.

Time to spend as much time away from home as possible. Sleep at a friends house or someones house. Better than getting sick.

I bet they have heated blankets. My parents do this crap too, and refuse to turn up the heater when we come to visit from out of town! I hope I'm not as frugal when I'm this old! My advice to you would be to go get a heated blanket too!
