A 2021 study by the Census revealed that childless adults age 55 and older had a median net worth of $153,900 compared to $130,400 for biological parents.
I always feel cheated as an asexual/aromantic person. We shouldn’t be forced to live with roommates for the rest of our lives just because we don’t want to get married, which isn’t really a choice, it’s just our orientation like anyone else’s. It’s also so much harder when neurodivergence and/or social anxiety is an issue.
No one should be forced to get married or have roommates (or both) just to keep a roof over their heads. Everyone is entitled to have a little bit of privacy and comfort in their lives, especially if they work hard for it.
I can’t believe I feel like I have to justify the desire for a studio apartment with no roommates.
Amen, AroAce SINK, with no partner to pick up any slack…I’m lucky currently to live with family that I get along well with, but they’re older and not in great health, so that’s not going to last forever.
