Insulate your house above the minimum expected R rating, not just for ceilings but for walls and in some cases, floors too.
Our biggest leak was the attic ladder, I built a little box of insulation foam and tape and just put it over the hatch. I got a $250 credit for my insulation purchases (I would have received a bigger rebate if someone else installed it bu then I would have had to spend more money...)
I think our heating bill was reduced by 30% so I am anxious to see this month's bill.
And to the OP's question:
Cooling: 76 during the day; 72-73 at night.
Heating: 72 day; 70 night

I don't know where you live but you need a better AC. It gets hot as balls here with humidity so high that you have to chew the air before you breathe it but I set my AC at 75 and it doesn't run all day. I like it cold when I sleep so some nights I will turn it down to 70 and it keeps that too until I wake up and turn it back up.
