So insomnia set me off pondering random things in the small hours . So as above , how many ?
I've got to late 30s and have lived in 8 , all in UK. Weirdly all most were xyz Avenue , one a Road , and this one xyz Lane.

11, all in the U.K. 2 of those were halls of residence and 1 a student flatshare.
I've only lived in 2 houses that I've actually owned though; all the rest were rented.

About 15.

BrieAndChilli · 05/04/2022 23:17

8 houses as a child plus boarding school.
Then loved in a hotel for a summer while working there.
Went to uni halls of residence.
3 more houses while at uni.
Then went travelling which included 2 lots of 6 months in a tent, 3 months in a guest house, 8 months in a static caravan and 6 months backpacking.
Since then 6 houses.

5! I'm 32.

Thisbastardcomputer · 05/04/2022 23:24

8 but my last one was 24 years

Scarby9 · 05/04/2022 23:26

11, including 2 flats and a bungalow.

RagzRebooted · 05/04/2022 23:31

23+ homes.
14 (possibly more that I've forgotten) houses and flats. 1 houseshare. 5 or 6 caravans. 2 bed and breakfasts (1 when our family was temporarily housed by the council and 1 for a few months in Penzance while doing seasonal work).

Been in the same street now for over a 3rd of my life, I wanted the stability for my DCs that I never had! If we can buy this house, we will be here another decade probably. Maybe longer, but more likely to retire elsewhere.

Deadringer · 05/04/2022 23:31

Late 50s, have lived in 3 houses, all within 5 minutes of each other.

Two houses as a child then a rented flat when first married and three houses since. 6 in total over my 62 years. We have lived in our current house for almost 34 years. Can't see us moving any time soon.
