Yeah, as an elder millennial, I’ve never been able to afford to live alone. This is by no means a new problem, but it’s definitely getting worse.

I worked with a old woman in her 60s with a roommate in 2015. Her salary doesn’t provide for her living alone.

For me, my rent doubled. So Im betting she’s now with 1-3 more roommates since then.

Just got engaged to my long term partner. We live with 2 other people and, with the way things are going, we will be married and still sharing accommodation because 2 full time jobs aren’t enough to cover rent AND food.

My bootstraps can’t be pulled any higher. I work 6 days a week and spend my Sunday working on my web design business to try make ends meet. Thank god I’m paying my landlords mortgage. I can’t imagine how they’re coping at the moment…

Its a clown world.

Moving out of home when mum dies, because that inheretance is probably the only way I’ll ever buy a house
