How Many Times Have You Relocated? Or Have You Never Relocated?

@gtdoss 9 houses in childhood, 10 since I got married.

6 times. The last time I have stayed put. My husband and I have lived in the house we live in for 31 years.

Yeah, I'm an Army brat so we moved over seas then around the US until I was 9 at which time dad decided that no matter where the Army sent him we would stay here. He got to go to Japan which I wish I could've gone to.

My mother bought a farm when she and dad got married. She used money gifted to her by her parents as a wedding gift to buy the farm. Mom owned the farm for 30 something off years until my dad passed away and mom wanted to move into the nearby city. I was 18 when she traded the farm for a house in the city. Since then, I have owned three different houses and raised my daughter in the last house we had until four years ago. We moved into this house at that time. I hate moving and hope never to need to move again.

Six different cities all over Germany, ten different apartments.

I have lived in three different Caribbean countries and also in the United States.

I've only ever lived in one town but I have moved a few times within the town, and that's only ever been through necessity rather than choice. It's not many times compared to some but I have lived in 6 different homes (one of them, which is still my parents' home, twice - well, three times but the third was temporary while we got a placed fixed up after a fire). I only moved once as a child (from my first childhood home to the house where my parents still live). My youngest son has lived in four of those places with me while my eldest has lived in five (he's also lived in other places - once with his dad, and is about to move into his fourth in 4 years as a student). I wanted my children to have a 'forever' home and be settled. Where we are now was going to be exactly that. Apart from my childhood home, it's the place I've stayed the longest. My youngest was 9 when we moved here, he's now 17 so has really grown up here. I wouldn't say that so much of my eldest as he was 14 when we moved here, moved to his dad's 2 years later as it was nearer to college, then moved away to university another 2 years after that! My husband has most likely lost count of the places he's lived. He's lived all over the world and would like to move to the coast. If we do that, it will be our forever home!

Before to get married 3 different locations. After I got married 8 different locations and 3 different countries.

Money talks loudly when it comes to moving. I've moved so many times I feel like I'm an Army brat. I'd love to live on the little farm where I started life but the house was razed and the community grew tons too large for me. I guess I moved once when I lived in university dorms, Daughter was born and that started a series of moving due to little money and landlords saying we had a kid and needed more than the one bedroom apartment that we could afford. On and on. One time we spent two years in backwoods Idaho. Finally here we are at retirement and we are done with real estate. This old house will have to put up with us two oldsters.

I had a childhood friend I lost contact with because her family kept on moving to different places. Maybe it’s you?

I have moved 8 times. From Philippines to Germany, then to Ireland and back to Germany again.

I have done it all my life and even more after my marriage. I stayed in different countries and different continents. My current home is the one where I have stayed the longest. We moved here in 2015 and I have no plans to shift from here. I just love this house. Even my husband doesn't plan to travel for long term any more.

I'm glad that you can relocate today . I didnt relocate today but i hope i can make it in the future with myself alone and for real

Its so many I can't count it.

8 different houses growing up. 3 since I got married.

For me, it was only for four times. First, when I got into college. Then, I moved out from my temporary boarding house and moved to a dormitory and then when I finally have our little house now.

Hm. I was born in Maryland and my family moved to West Virginia when I was 11 months old. I stayed at that address until I left for college at in Philadelphia at 17. Started off in the freshman dorm and then moved to the upperclass dorm for the next three years. After freshman year, I returned to my home in WV for the summer, but I found that very boring, so the next summer, I rented a room in a fraternity house, and I did that again at a different fraternity house the summer after. In my senior year, I took my own apartment for the last semester. My (future) husband joined me there, but it was teeny, so we moved into a larger unit in the same building. We stayed there until after we got married and returned from our honeymoon (my parents came to stay at our apartment and take care of our cats while we spent three weeks in Japan--so we got a vacation, and so did they!) Once we returned, we entered the next phase of our relationship - settling down. We relocated to North Carolina and rented an apartment while looking for a home to buy. We bought our starter home and lived there for four years until we could afford a larger place. That's where we still live, and like you, it's been a good while--27 years, as of July. So, Maryland - 1, West Virginia - 1, Philadelphia - 6, North Carolina - 3. 11, total. However, since technically neither the dorms nor the summer room rentals really counted as a "permanent address" (that would have been my parents' house), I could possibly reduce that number from 6 to 2 - my two apartments. That would make 7.

I have moved around but always in the US.

Four times. I've lived in my current place for more than ten years.

1 in childhood, 3 since I got married :)
