Historically 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.

How 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?
