Lifetime, 8, in two states.

Don't remember for sure how many between the time I left the farm and when I came to Texas. Several during my first couple of years in Texas. But I've been at my current address since 1988, and I plan on staying right here until I am forced to leave, feet first.

6 addresses over my lifetime and 2 of those moves were due to divorce and remarriage.

15. That includes from birth through college, and marriage.

The next one -- hopefully will be either the nursing home or Sr. living. (In a few years)

4 in one part of a state, 3 in another part of the same state, 1 in a foreign country. Not counting the military or college.

I've been in current house for 35 years. In my married life, seven counting this one. As a child four.

At least 26, but it could be 28 or 29. Need to give it more thought.

I think it is fifteen. Someone showed me my profile on White Pages this weekend. You'd think I had lived a lot more places if you followed what they said.

6 here....I'm amazed at some of your numbers!!!

8, all in one metro area, and number 8 has been for 28 years,. I hate moving.

Thirteen, in three different states. "God willing and the creek don't rise", we'll have one more move to a retirement community in 10 or 15 years, and home #14 will be the final.

I have no idea. More than most, less than others. My mother would know. Whenever I would have to fill out forms with former addresses, I would always call my mother to get the information. We've been in this house almost 13 years, the longest I've lived anywhere since childhood.

22, I think.....including Ohio, California, Georgia and Colorado.

20 that I can remember. My dad was in the Navy and I was in the Air Force.

17. Considering I lived in one for 25 years and another for 15 years, that's a lot of moving in between the two long term ones. That does not count temporary locations during the moves. Most moves were door to door, but some were way out of state, so I lived in a motel for a few days. I've also lived in 5 hotels totaling 8 years, but that period overlapped the 25 years in the permanent home.

8 total. 1 state, 2 counties, 5 cities.

I am in the process of moving from No. 13 to 14/15- I will split my time between two new addresses pretty evenly I think- I've had the same address for the past 20 years. Most of the moves were right after grad school and marriage.

All my adult moves and those as a baby and child were in the same part of PA.

Thirteen in 4 states.

Seven addresses in 3 states.

Edited - ooops I forgot my first home from infant through age 7! Was my parents first home too - they paid $10,000 for it and my Mom put down $10.00 as a down payment.

Nine CA addresses thus far.

9 or 10 all in North or South Dakota

Six since birth. All within about a 35 mile radius.

20. Air Force brat.

Five. All within about a 60 mile radius.

At least 16.....24 years at my present address.

17 I think. 5 different states.

9 total moves but only 7 locations. Two involved moving back to places I had previously lived.

Total of 3. Born and raised in #1, married and moved in with hubby, and we moved where we are since 1971.

If it's since born, 10 -- since married 5.

11 - all in WA - the first one for 18 years, the last one 35 years. There were a few years in between that we moved every 6 months - ugh, but the closets and drawers were always clean! (oops, eta I remembered 2 more).

Starting at about age 2, the ones I can remember add up to 27 during my lifetime. My dad worked for an oil company and my twin sis and I never lived in one town/house more than 3 years. I went to 3 different high schools; I said I was gonna marry someone like a plumber so my kids would have roots. Well, best laid plans....I married an oil company geophysicist and moved to 22 different homes in 30 years. After he retired, we bought this home at the lake and have been in the same house for 26 years! It was somewhat difficult for me at first...I wanted to paint the walls, change the furniture around and make new draperies every 3 years for a while. I've settled down now and happy to be in my "final home."

Addresses for me:

1 home while being raised.

10 Working my way through college.

5 after first college degree.

A total of 16

No. of states: 3

6 if I count the house we rented for 6 months while our present home was being built. 3 states if we include the rental.

Twelve & five states. I hate moving!

26, 23 since I have been married. With next move, my friends will be able to write my address in their books in ink.

I always used ink in my address books, so when someone moved I had to cross the old one out/white out if there wasn't room on the appropriate letter page(s) and eventually get a new address book when things started to look messy and illegible.

Maybe not for some oldsters but I think an increasing majority of people keep their "address books" electronically. Available from any internet connection and replicated <--> with and available on their smartphones, so that all instances are current and available anywhere.

8 in my lifetime, 3 since being married. We rented for 1 1/2 years, then bought a small bungalow in a good neighborhood, stayed there many years. We moved to a much larger single level home just a few years ago. It would work well as an aging in place forever home but I hesitate to ever say 'forever'....

@elmer

Hence why I said "always used" - meaning in the past tense. Once upon a time I liked address books you actually wrote in the entries for by hand. Now that people mostly use their cell phones or some other electronic means for their contacts and addresses, the old school type are so much more expensive that it's easier to just use my phone for addresses. :P

Great question! 8.

1 Parents house (growing up & before military, and after return from military to finish undergrad degree)

3 in military (including Darmstadt, Germany)

3 in NJ

1 in grad school

I still have my address book, even though it's generally only opened for writing the Christmas cards. However, since I too write in pen, I like the history captured within its pages with the old addresses crossed out and the new ones penned in.

I still keep a paper address book. I came across this one while shopping on the web and it was very old fashioned and charming. I neatly write the names, address, 2 phone numbers and email addresses of everyone. I think of it as an old-school back up.

At one point there was so much moving around amounts my friends after school that I took to keeping the addresses on post-it notes in my address book (that was in the early 90s just as we were getting email addresses.)

Not counting vacation homes:

Birth to age 17 -- 1 home, my parents home that my Mom still owns although she spend most of her time in a senior living apartment and now just goes "home" for a few days a month.

University years -- 6 dorm, sorority house, summer rentals and rentals during junior and senior years.

3 year interlude -- 2 rentals

Three Law school years -- 1 owned

LLM (post-grad law degree). - 1 year in residence -- 1 rental

Last 33 1/4 years -- 1 owned

That's 12, 4 cities/towns all in the same state, but upcoming because we are building our retirement home and just sold our long timehome, we are moving to a rental Aug. 1 in our current town for four months and then, hopefully in late November to our retirement home in another state (where we have owned a condo first then a second home for almost 20 years and where DD and her family have put down roots). So by year end I will be up to 14.

i think my Mom is only on ther 6th at age 86 -- her parents' first home until she was 4 and then another until she went away to school for her last two years of high school/junior college -- dorm there and then in a dorm at University where she completed her BA. After a brief time back at her parents house she married my Dad and lived in the same house for 63 years (the last 40 after my Dad died). Just last November she moved to senior living and will move to another near us when we move. That will make 7 for her.

Since birth? I really don't know. I can think of... 15 off hand. Two provinces, which includes one city, one town, and a couple acres in the province just outside of a small city

Approximately 18 different places. I'm about to go to 19. :(. I spent 16 years at my current place but the prices rising in Vancouver made it only a matter of time until they wanted us out. Their reason is a daughter moving in but it's their place and they don't really need a reason.

A few years ago when they asked how many places we'd lived, which is pretty well the same thing, I counted 22, including where I am now, have been for 12 years.

ole joyful

I count 11 from birth to current, in 3 different states.

Wow, I have only moved four times to different areas in same state. I need to get moving! :)
