About 20 since leaving home age 19
Now 58. Hate moves and I have lived at this current house 14 years now. Planning this to be my last home. 1 move was abroad and there was a fairly lengthy rent phase at one point which led to too many moves.

In the first 30 years of my life I lived in 15 different homes, including university halls / house shares and two live-in jobs. We then bought our current house, have lived in it for the last 20 years and have no plans to move.
