In Berlin or Munich absolutely not, even shared accommodation have some absurd castings. Some people really smell their advantage and squeeze every drop of humiliation they can.
- watwut 2y agoHistorically shared living was standard. You had multigenerational households and such too. It was not seen as humiliating, but as normal. It has its issues and is definitely not ideal, but whether you accept these has less to do with age and more to do with culture and economics.
- lifestyleguru 2y agoHow do you start sharing multigenerational household when you're a foreigner hundreds kilometers away from any family? Culture and economics might mutually agree that you are obsolete and should eliminate yourself, would you comply?

I've shared a house with people in their 40s (or more) when I was in my 20s in London. I'm sure they would have preferred their own place, but it was much, much cheaper for them to share.
- lifestyleguru 2y agoIf someone in their 40s ends up or insist on living in shared accommodation in London, it's probably a hidden message from their own destiny.
