17 homes at 36

stressedsideways · 02/02/2020 20:25

14 aged 39, excluding a year abroad and a few less than 3 months.

It feels like a lot more to be honest, I am exhausted!

If I’ve counted correctly, 19 houses and I’m 39. These have been in 4 countries (the UK, US, South Africa, and India), but I didn’t count any that I lived in less than 3 months (otherwise, it would be a few more). We’re looking to move in the next year and after that, I definitely hope I don’t have to move again for another 10-20 years!

12 homes, I'm 33. DD is 9 and has lived in 6 already - moved yearly in the first few years of her life, poor kid!

53 and I’ve lived in 39 different places that I know of. I was in and out of care up to 18 yrs (lived in 17 places) then uni where I moved 3 times, then after that I just moved around and got a bit restless if I was in one place too long, plus I rented mainly so often had to move for that. Pretty settled where I am now though, but will probably move again at some point, hopefully by the sea somewhere.
