God I don’t know. We are both ex-military. First kid was in 14 school settings and is now at uni in her third house. I lost count some time ago 🤷‍♀️

PootleandPosey · 02/02/2020 17:47

9 at mid 40s

TheNoiseHurts · 02/02/2020 17:47

I think 19.

6 as a child, and the rest were just rental properties as a teen-20's

I've moved a lot I guess but it doesn't feel that way.

We have recently bought out forever home 🥰

TheNoiseHurts · 02/02/2020 17:47

And I'm 37

hartof · 02/02/2020 17:48

Almost 34 lived in 5 homes, only remember 4. 2 of them have been my own, and my latest home I've moved back to the town I was born in that I left at 1 and have never been back until a year ago.

drownininplaymobil · 02/02/2020 17:48

f00k · 02/02/2020 17:49

I'm 31 and I've lived in 4 homes. 1 throughout childhood and 3 as an adult.

exexpat · 02/02/2020 17:49

I'm early 50s, and I think it is about 17 homes if you don't include student halls and a few 4-6 week stints in serviced apartments when moving countries and looking for longer term rentals while waiting for shipped household goods to arrive. I've been in my current house nearly 13 years and I'm getting itchy feet.

jaffaeclipse · 02/02/2020 17:49

13 more permanent homes, not sure how many was I was just renting a room in a house when I was starting out.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 02/02/2020 17:49

5 as a child, 3 as a student, 2 when working in U.K., 5 when living/working abroad, 1 since then - in current home since 1987.
I never want to move again!

forrandomposts · 02/02/2020 17:49

28 and 7 - largely uni, never moved house as a child!
