How old is too old to be living with roommates?

Honestly I never want to live alone so imma be living with roommates until I get married/move in with a boyfriend I think. For me, I'll probably change from roommates to SO around age 22 (I'm actually 19 sorry for GAG age) because that's when I'll graduate college. I think it's okay to live with roommates so long as it works for you, honestly even if you're married or have a kid or two but your buddy still lives in the same apartment, who cares, it's what works and it's nice having people around.

I’m 27 living with two ladies ages 35 and 42 and we get along so well! They have taught me so much.


I once knew a guy who was a refugee. He helped my previous yard work and things around his house. He was living with 4 men in their 60’s! This guy was no older than me!

I don't see a age limit, maybe if your the one renting the room and not owning the place. But not for having roommates. Ie they having their own room. It makes your life cheaper which means you can put that money on down-payment or something else. And the one renting can save up to buy their own place if the rent is fairly set.

I am 41, own a house, and I have roommates. My best friend and his wife have 3 kids and cannot afford a place of their own because 2 of the kids are autistic and so the wife doesn't work to stay home and take care of them. I let them live in my house and I live in the basement.

Whatever you and the people around you are comfortable with but I would say that probably the social acceptance is 30.

I would not be concerned about that number, if you are older with a roommate and someone judges you can tell them to go piss up a pole unless it's your spouse as they have living arrangements considerations too.

There is no set age. Don't be immature and judge people on their financial situation. The majority of people who live in Asia never even move out of their parents house. (And no, I live alone right now in a nice apartment, but used to have roommates in my mid twenties.)

I'm 20 and have a house with my boyfriend and two others. It lowers the monthly cost a lot and it's nice.

Now , I don't think there is a set age, and there shouldn't ever be. Being financially stable is hard, but a lot easier when it's all split 4 ways!

Here's a useful hint that an older man told me. Stop caring about what society says, and do what you think is best for yourself. If you need a roommate because you need to save money for a home, then do it. Live for yourself not others.

Never 🤷‍♂️

You can live with roomates if you are 80 or older. It depends on the individual preferences.

[Mickey9999]

No rules. Roommates are for not only financial reasons but also companionship and even safety. I’m sure there are many more but the major reasons have been stated.

There's no rules to how to live your life. Do whatever you want. Old people in nursing homes have hella roommates. Humans are social, so if your thing is to be single with roommates then do it.

You're never too old to be too broke to afford something on your own.

How old is too old to be with living with somebody you married? There's your answer. You're welcome :D

[kidsarentalright24]

I don't really think there is or should be an age limit as the way living costs have been rising these days it's really expensive to afford a place for 1 person unlike they were in the past but having roommates or sharing the cost makes it cheaper

[kidsarentalright24]

Unless you have a good high paying job

[kidsarentalright24]

But some people don't have that luxury

[SaraSmithishere]

It depends on where you live. My coworker has a roommate and she's 43 but we all live in LA, and a nice apartment here can cost upwards of $2,500 a month.

[CuteNerd9]

I don't think there's an age limit on that. Just look at The Golden Girls. Lol 🤣

[311WasAnInsideJam]

In this economy? Whatever age you begin decomposing.

[SG8596]

I dont think there's an age limit really. Its all circumstantial

[Zeus_66]

No age is too old. Depends on one's position in life and content with it.

[dreamstar72]

Maybe between ages of 32 to 48 are odd years to be roommates

[jb2622]

Depends on personal finance and no one is to old to be broke.

[GreenGold1992]

I don't think there is too old living with roommates, you gotta find someplace to live and pay the rent.

[Jeyvaughn]

Not so much a question of age, but circumstance. If having a roommate is the only way to make ends meet, do it. You don't age out of financial struggles.

If you both race to the car in walkers and never get there?
