I'm 60, and I think it's about 10.

riotlady · 02/02/2020 18:27

I’m 27- 5 as a child, 3 at uni, my ex boyfriend’s parents for a bit, then have lived in my current rented flat for 4 years. So 10.

I really hated moving as a child so am saving up to buy a house and hoping I’ll be able to live in it until I either die or get sent to a nursing home!

LittleDragonGirl · 02/02/2020 18:28

Moved 5 times with my parents (although most where upsizing in the same area), 4 times with DH, and the other 4/5 where just moving about ALOT between leaving home and settling into a relationship with DH. Hmm

DramaAlpaca · 02/02/2020 18:28

I'm mid-50s.

Three homes with my parents, lots of student houses, a handful in my early 20s, then five different homes with DH. We've been in the last one nearly 20 years.

TheJoxter · 02/02/2020 18:28

9 (I think) and I’m in my mid 20s. 4/5 (can’t remember) of those were before the age of 4, then stayed in one house til I was 19, then moved every couple of years since then.

IndieTara · 02/02/2020 18:28

I'm 53 and lived in 15 different places

LittleDragonGirl · 02/02/2020 18:29

I absolutely positively hate moving house. I currently commute roughly 2 hours, rather then move half way between mine and DHs work as I cant stand the idea of moving house again!

7dayslater · 02/02/2020 18:29

8 different houses. Shock I'm 19.

FinallyHere · 02/02/2020 18:29

Eleven, not including school/uni places

Lived in my current house for twenty years, longest I have lived anywhere by a country mile.
