I have had 10 adresses in New Zealand and 5 in Australia for a total of 15 in 30 years. With my work I expect to move house at least every couple of years for the next decade or two. ---

Twenty-one places before I graduated high school. I’m currently at 36 – and planning to move again in six months or so when the new house is finished. I think I’m ready to settle down – the up-coming house could last for a while. I hope! ---

Newborn to 22~one home 22 to 23~first apartment with new hubby and baby (busy year!) 23 to 27~rented a house after the divorce 27 to my current 33~ my house, no plans for leaving either, with all the sweat equity I’ve built up! What’s even more pitiful, compared to the majority of responses, the three residences after leaving the nest were all within five miles. ---
