50 years of age is too old to share a house?

The answer is 'no'.... many say they wished they did this more early. Their life has just developed in such a way that they are single, the kids live with their mother and they work almost every day ... and go out on the weekends. They realize they could have saved masses of money by sharing an apartment with a roommate.

Ego

There are always those who, in view of their age, have difficulty with the social aspect, and thus with their ego. So yes, our ego is a 'bastard' and we all have to deal with it. There is little more to say about this, this is a subject for each and every one of us. I have just asked around me if my friends have a certain opinion and unanimously they informed me that they would do exactly the same in a similar situation!

Age is just a number

Sometimes very different motifs play a role here; loneliness, desire for entitlement, finances, security ... you name it! There the ego is completely subordinate to these wishes.

Vision

With the aging population, the decline in care for the elderly, we also see a future where the elderly and young people will share their lives together. The young people experiences the pleasures in the city of his/her dreams and a peace of mind to have some sort of home. The elderly experience entitlement, cosiness, savings, a safe home in which the youngster occasionally checks with an eye to see if everything is okay with the older person. Wonderful prospect right?
