How do you feel about living with roomies? - 05/04/14 10:14 PM
I know we've talked about "co-housing" in the past. But I was recently asked my opinion on this article from the LA Times about single Boomers sharing a home.
It seems to be the consensus of people who analyze the lifestyles of those of us who are single and 50+, that taking in a roommate can make sense -- from both a financial and mental/emotional health point of view.
Here's a link to the LinkedIn discussion I've been a part of.
I have to say, the ladies who share a home on the show "Hot in Cleveland," seem to make this work. But of course, that's a silly fiction.
What do you think? Could you home share if you found yourself without a partner? Would you?
