OP posts:
Amch · 17/06/2024 13:07

Jobs - 5 (incl the Saturday job as a teen)
Homes - 3 (although one we were only there for 6 months or so.. never felt like home)

WhatNoRaisins · 17/06/2024 13:07

More jobs but we got quite lucky when house hunting so that's hopefully limited homes for us.

OldTinHat · 17/06/2024 13:07

Jobs.

bows101 · 17/06/2024 13:08

I've had loads of jobs. I've infact lost count, although they were temping roles. In my adult life I've had 2 houses. But as a child I moved around a lot with parents but I still think jobs outweigh

Peonies12 · 17/06/2024 13:09

I've lived in so many places I can't even count! But probably 10-12 jobs. 2 a piece is mind blowing to me unless you're very young.

NewUser1111 · 17/06/2024 13:23

Homes- 20 (!!)
Job- 12

just took me quite a while to calculate

FrogFairy · 17/06/2024 13:24

Jobs - 2
Homes - 5

Clearinguptheclutter · 17/06/2024 13:26

It’s interesting.

i’m in the 3rd house I have owned. I’m also in my 3rd serious long term job, not including some short term things

theaLi · 17/06/2024 13:26

"Proper" jobs - 3
Homes (after moving out of parents) were on our 2nd.

I'm nearly 34 with 2 small children if that helps ☺️

Do student homes count? They form a fair proportion of my home count.
Do student jobs count? They form a fair proportion of my job count.

Lalog · 17/06/2024 13:35

26 jobs, 27 houses.

Surprised it's so even.

InMySpareTime · 17/06/2024 13:39

Inc student (exc student)

Homes 9 (5)

Jobs 12 (4)

Bernadinetta · 17/06/2024 13:42

I was also going to ask if student halls of residence/shared houses etc count.

If so:
Homes: 9 (three owned)
Jobs: 4 (including pub waitressing while at college)

RefusingToPlayYourGames · 17/06/2024 13:43

Lots of jobs (over 20)
Homes - 5

Spendonsend · 17/06/2024 13:43

8 homes and 10 jobs. But I hold more than one job

Boutonnière · 17/06/2024 13:43

8 of each, unless you count student part time jobs and term time student accommodation

macshoto · 17/06/2024 13:47

Jobs - 1/2 (post university, 2 if you count international secondment as a new job)

Homes -7 (3 shared/rented in London, two rented while on international secondment, two purchased and both still owned).

Mid-50's.

LakeTiticaca · 17/06/2024 13:48

14 jobs

Beezknees · 17/06/2024 13:50

Homes. Moved a lot as a kid.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 17/06/2024 13:50

9 of each, strangely enough.

I haven't counted the hairdressing salon I lasted two days at because it was toxic.

tahinitoast · 17/06/2024 14:03

Moved 25+ times and had a shed ton of jobs so probably a tie... but a high tie 😅

Crunchymum · 17/06/2024 14:05
