It could be another house or another town or do you still live in the same house that you were born in?:)

Hi peanutjar, Wow what a question lol. I have moved hmmmm lemme count just one sec okay I have moved 13 times. The next place that my hubby, daughter, and I move into will be a rental property that we live in 1/2 of until it's paid off, then after we sell that one we will have "the house" you know, the one you stay in for the rest of your life! Have a good weekend and lookie lookie ... I shared my 2000th posts with you! Love & Hugzz, Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear xx

We plan to get a rental property next and rent out 1/2 of it and basically have someone else pay the mortgage for us! Then once that is all paid off we plan to sell that, and then finally move into "the one"! I can't wait to have my own home! Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

Oh Geez, I think you could consider me a gypsy. My parents moved a lot when we were kids. I went to 4 elementary schools, 2 junior high schools and 2 high schools. Since I left home at 18, I have lived 12 different places. I have lived in my current house since I was pregnant with my son, he is now 5. I think this is the longest time I have lived in one place. I must admit, I feel like I need to move, it must be natural for me..LOL, but we will be here for a long time.

is that before I can remember or all the times I have moved? lol. On average, I have moved about 2 times a year since I was a baby. Some years more and some years less. Hoping not to move again for at least another couple of years.

Fingers crossed that if we have to, then it will be into even more permanent accomodations. Like, maybe we'd have won enough on lotto to buy our own home! lol.

My father is a bank manager so we used to face frequent transfers and thus moved to new places several times but 10 years ago i was married to a businessman and have been living at one place since then. We however are thinking of moving to the city outer as the area has become congested and has less of greenery.

I thought you'd never ask! I was born in the same room of the same farmhouse that my Dad was born in, just 30 years later. That was 74 years ago, and now my Grandson is sleeping in that bedroom. When my son was married in 1979 my wife and I built on the farm, about a 1/4 mile up the road, and I'm writing this from that House. The farm has a Centennial Plaque which states," Centennial Farm, 1905_2005." However I also have a Mobile Home in South Texas. We live there from November 1st to March 31 each winter. Its at Alamo, (a suburb of McAllen) very close to the Rio Grande River which is the border of the US, and Mexico. I have Bananas and Rio Red Grapefruit fruiting behind my house(in Tx.) right now. Can Hardly wait to get there!

wow too many but I will try to list them all. we lived with my grandparents till I was about 5 then we moved to a new house that my parents build. Then when I was 15 I moved to Australia and lived with my sisiter for 6 monthst than we moved next door to her and lived there for about a year. Then we moved to a house and lived there for about a year and a half. When I was 18 my parents bought a house and I lived there till 21 and I moved overseas and lived in my grand mothers house for about 8 months then I moved to my house (well my parents house) and lived there for 1 year. Then I got back to australia and lived back with my parents and last year age 26 we bought a house (my husband and I). So how many is that I think 10.

Well, since I move a lot during my life, of course I'm not living in the same house when I was born. When I was a kid, my parents used to moved a lot from one to another town, and now I also moved from country to country with my own family. Oh well, what a life...!!

I have just found out that we've almost moved 5 times now, but still on the same district. I thought that where gonna stay for good after moving from my mom's family property, since the whole compound also includes houses of her two sisters. But I guess greed and envy also comes within members of the family, so my father decided to move and instead find a great place that we can call home. It's not that simple though, since we need to consider the whole neighborhood and choose a community where we prefer. But if ever our landlord would grant our offer of rent-to-own, we'd be glad to stay in this house where we are presently residing. Somehow, our moving from places made positive impacts on us. ASide from our childhood place being flooded, I also get to meet lots of great people and established friendship with them!;)

I think I've moved 9 or 10 times. I'm not sure exactly. I'm 25. Up until I moved out when I was 17, I had only moved twice. But then I moved a few times before I got married, and twice since I've been married. My husband is military, too, so the moving probably isn't going to stop anytime soon.

I really had to think about this, I have moved 12 different times in my life. I have lived in my house 11 years now. So I haven't moved in a while and I hope not to move for a long time.

Ive only moved twice in my life. When I was born we use to live in londinderry new hampshire then after a few years we moved to bedford new hampshire. Just recent during this summer We moved into our new house which is pretty close to our old house just 5 min away. But its hard to move when you have been living in a house for more then 18 years I was very sad to move and hated the new house but now I dont mind it and Im pretty use to it even though we havent actually gotten organized yet and I dont think we ever will lol.

Hello there. I've moved house 2 times. I only remember the second time. The first time happened when I was very young (2 years old). The second time happened when I was 16 years old. I used to share a room with my brother when I was living in the old house. Now, I have my own room. =D Initially, it was scary to sleep alone and now I am used to it.
