Ever thought about - and added up - how many times you've moved in your lifetime thus far?

12 times with my folks and out and back while I was going to tech school then, seven times, during my two marriages five of those were because my second wife could not stay put. During my second marriage... And then move number 20 in this little apartment where I have been for 16 years now. So actually 21 total counting the move, getting out while I was going to school. 4 of those places I owned I lost two of those places because my second wife couldn't stay put talk about financially being turned upside down. I personally feel like all the moving is a big negative effect when you're growing up because you never get to established any friends for long term. I've been in this little apartment longer than I have anywhere else in my life. I'm 72 and I have no intention of moving again. It's old, beat up, tiny, in the lower floor of a two-story house, but it was home with Vickie for 11 years, and it's home now. It's the only place I've ever been that actually felt like home. I don't know what moving from someplace you've outgrown even means.

4 times

18 times, most of that in childhood

3 times, counting leaving home, in the same place in the last 40 years

Foster kid ,i lost count at least 15

Six times. That includes the first apartment my parents occupied, their first house, then a second, my move away to college, back home , and finally to my current home of 28 years.

A dozen for moi 🤦‍♂. It’s a pain in the arse, literally 😒

at least 12 times if not more

15 Times ...I'll probably move one last time and that would be to downsize

What’s the longest you’ve lived somewhere and where was it ?

I’m at 18 times.

Moving is the worst!

About 4 times over 16 yrs in one town, including college. Later, 1 move 600+ miles /3 states away, 1 move of 1300 miles/5 states away already in the can. I have at least one more of 700 miles/4 states away yet to come.

They were all good choices ..

8 Moves as a child through my adult life. I can't count the Army moving me once every year or two, because most of that revolved around packing my duffle bags and having a TV and a few things shipped to the new barracks room at the new post by the Army. The longest the Army left in in one place was one nearly two years.

Twelve times altogether but I've settled in one place now for the last thirty eight years.

3 times. Pretty much within the same 30 mile radius. Not a fan, I still have things stored from the last move because I have nowhere to put them.

Always lived in the same house.

Never, still at the same places and don't count a dorm, that's not moving.

I relocated countries and hemispheres (not languages thank goodness) three times before I was 12 years old.That disruption to family and friendships stayed with me forever. My wife was also a teenage migrant, so we shared the need for Stability for ourselves and our children. We purchased our building block in 1973. And I still live there, with no plans to move..😷

Mostly because of job transfers I’ve lived in five states and about 20 or so different cities. Spent 30 days in a hotel in a sixth state.

Under 21 - 1 time
21 to 29 - 3 times - moved to 1 country
29 to 38 - 6 times - .moved to 2 other countries
38 to now - 5 times - Life in Australia.

Total of 15 times over my lifetime across 4 countries.

I have it all written down somewhere. Haven't looked at it in a while. I've lived here almost 18 years.

I had to write down every place I lived at since I was 18 for my job and ya…27 times. 😬 Add 9 times before I was 18.

Holy crap, never thought about it ... 11 times!

9, not counting temporary things.

Five times. Two as a kid and three as an adult. I think we are in our forever home now. So when was your last move? Did you stay in the area or relocate?

Same here - too many, about 18 or so and all over the world. I was done with about four moves ago, but circumstances and events wasn't done with me.

Ha! thought of another two. Seems like I can't remember all of them😁

Not one to reminisce (Wow! Spelled reminisce correctly without help!) or whatever. Been where I am now the longest: 34 years.

i moved so much o got 675 emails
