All houses. I'm 37. Lived in one house for 19 years, shortest was 6 months.
Keladrythesaviour · 05/04/2022 23:56

Lived in just one for the first 18 years
3 during university (1 each year)
1 during masters
1 when i moved in with my bf (now DH)
1 when we moved for work (flat)
1 - our first purchased house
And now our current house
All in UK but spread around (and some in Wales)

Should say - I'm 32

15, I think? I'm 37. We finally bought the house we were renting last year, so with luck we will get to stay here a bit longer! I never liked moving.

3 as a kid (one I don't remember). 2 as an adult. It's low because I didn't go to uni and I've never rented.

22 - mostly due to the joys of renting.

7 but one was an apartment for only 3 months. Living in "forever home" now, been here almost 5 years.

mizu · 06/04/2022 07:27

About 20 - I'm 49 and only bought a place 4 years ago. A LOT of renting. Lived abroad a fair bit too.

alwayswrighty · 06/04/2022 07:30

22 in nearly 45 years.

Calandor · 06/04/2022 07:33

VeganGod · 06/04/2022 07:35

8 and we still own 3 of those. We spend our time living between them. We might move once more but I really hate the upheaval of moving house.

Trinacham · 06/04/2022 07:39

2 - my childhood home where my mother still lives, and the home I bought with my husband, where we still live! They are also 5 minute drive away from each other. I love that I still live in the town I grew up in.

custardbear · 06/04/2022 07:45

20 but only two were my purchases, the rest uni rentals or parents

pinkBamboo · 06/04/2022 08:12

This is my 8th. Stayed in the same house from been born to moving out at 20 though.

PleaseYourselfandEatTheCrusts · 17/04/2022 21:00

I'm 37 and have lived in 6 different places.

Only five, and I'm late 60s. I'm not counting stays overseas that were temporary, as I had a permanent address in the UK throughout.

elQuintoConyo · 17/04/2022 22:33

27 and I'm 45yo.

Forces child, then uni, then country-hopping and city hopping. I had 5 flats in 4.5 years in one city! Good times!

Packing, moving and unpacking again doesn't faze me. It's probably why I like camping, too!
