Was just reading in a mag, that most people move 11 times in their lifetime, counted mine and it’s 9 , anticipate one more move downsizing( married Twice )

One move.

17 times. Lots when I was married. We used to say if it's time to decorate, let's move! This is my final home, I hope.

13 times and this house is my 13th home.

17 my parents enjoyed moving around the same area. I’ve moved 7 times since we got married 46 year ago. Probably one more, but only if we have to move into a bungalow.

Just four. Not as much as some here!

About 25. Still can’t settle.

12 I think. I thought that I'd moved about a lot compared to other people but it seems not!

Eleven. My next move will be into an urn. 😂

Lots. About 25. My father was relocated overseas when I was a baby, moved back, then moved to another continent to study…. DH worked in a bank and we were relocated every 4 years. He retired, the children grew up, we downsized, then he died and I am now in a small retirement flat.
11 is an average - so some people live in the same house all their lives, forces families are moved very, very frequently.
