Don't buy anything on credit except your home.
Drive older cars until they rust away.
Learn how to fix the things you have.

I have never regulated my thermostat to save money. I make sure the temp is very cool in the summer and drop it down at night to 68.
I love it cool so I rarely need to turn on the heat. My electric bills drop to about $35 in Winter and about $200 in Summer for about 3 months.
I do turn the thermostat up in the summer to 76 when I go out for extended time and jack it up to 84 if I go away for days.
Comfort over cost.
