Well yeah, because he has a roommate
Probably healthier for both of them, really
Must have been all that avocado toast
I have one house mate in his 70s and one in her 80s, and she has lung cancer. Luckily our social systems are taking care of them, barely; but that’s going away and the cost of living is rising way faster than projected.
If we have to have 1 roommate now it’s gaurenteed we will need at least 2 in a few more decades.
yeah heck is even a boomer at 87 or is that silent
He’d have been born around 1939, pre-war from an American perspective, so “Silent Generation,” to the extent that means anything. My late “Silent Generation” father-in-law was the biggest Boomer stereotype I’d ever met.
Interesting story, but headline not accurate:
When asked if he could cover all of his expenses using Social Security without a roommate, Ferber said, “Barely. What really helps naturally is working at Costco three days a week.”
So, yes, he could afford rent without a roommate, but its understandable why he has a roommate anyway.
Frankly, at 87, it’s probably best not to live alone anyway.
Sure just “roommates”. That’s always my I was told my great aunt and her friend were. Suspiciously there was only one bedroom.
I know of at least 3 GenX guys with roommates. I think they’re all divorced.
ah yes, headlines that outright contradict the article contents. love it.
I would love to have an 87 year old roomie. I get along with the elderly. They are chill and usually not fucking full of hot air.
