Baby boomers & others seeking roommates to cut housing costs

[marylander1940]

OP note: I guess because of our expensive hobby this won't apply to most of us but I wonder if some out there have friends or neighbors looking for roommates to cut high housing (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) costs. 

Maybe some might rent a room and treat themselves with that money to hire 👿 

High housing costs mean more seniors seeking roommates : NPR

I guess this book no longer applies to some of us, even single men and women are looking for roomates.

BLANCHE:  I always thought I'd be kept by a younger man.

DOROTHY:  It's not too late, Blanche.  They get younger every day.

I have to think that this has always been the case,  seniors who simply don’t have enough saved up for retirement have to find a roommate to share expenses.  I wonder if the increase of seniors listing on SpareRoom results from changes in the economy or simply from more seniors discovering the platform.
