As you get older, it becomes harder to find a house or a job.

As you get older, it becomes harder to find a house or a job.

I'm looking at real estate sites because I'm planning to move. When I see a house that fits my budget, I look up the detailed description. But I come across something unusual.  

The building is a three-story multi-family house. The building owner says, "None of the residents in this building are over 60." He says that the advantage is that there are no elderly people over 60 living there. What does that mean? 

I've heard something similar. Landlords don't rent out their houses to elderly people. Especially elderly people who live alone. It goes without saying if the elderly person is a man. Elderly residents have a lot to worry about, are uncomfortable, and are worrisome. So the landlord says that since there are no elderly people living in this building, they can live comfortably. I completely understand.  

When you get older, you need to have your own house, even if it is shabby. No landlord wants to rent to an elderly person. If you keep doing this, you will end up living on the street without being able to find a house.   

Let me tell you another similar story. When he retired in his late 50s and tried to find a part-time job, he sent out his resume here and there, but he was rejected by all of them. When he looked into the reason, it seemed to be because of his age. When you retire at an old age, it is difficult to find a job, whether you are a full-time employee or a part-time employee. It is difficult to make a living.

When you get older, you need to have your own house to live in and a place to work. It doesn't matter if it's a shabby house or a job that doesn't earn much money. It's hard to find a house or a job when you get older. You need to have a small house and a job that you can make and sell.
