Affordable Housing Options for Seniors: Living with Family or Friends

Are you a senior looking for affordable housing options? One of the most practical and overlooked solutions may be living with family or trusted friends.

In this video, I’m talking about the pros, cons, and real-life considerations of shared living in retirement—whether that means moving in with adult children, combining households with relatives, or sharing a home with a friend.

For many seniors, rising rent, home prices, and utility costs make independent living harder than ever. Shared housing can reduce expenses, increase safety, and offer companionship, but it also comes with important challenges like privacy, boundaries, finances, and expectations.

In this Living There video, we’ll talk about:
* living with adult children in retirement
* sharing housing with friends after 55
* how seniors can cut housing costs
* multigenerational living pros and cons
* practical considerations to discuss before moving in together

If you’re trying to find affordable ways to live well in retirement, this may be one of the most realistic options to consider.

This is part of my Living There series, where we explore affordable housing ideas, low-cost places to live, and practical ways to make retirement more financially manageable.
