What's your average years per home over your lifetime?

[Bozza]

As I prepare to move for the 2nd time within 6 months, and with another move expected within 2-3 months, it had me wondering how many homes I've had.

I think my homes have been something like...

Birth to 3
3 to 23 (I'm ignoring the various abodes I had through university days)
23 to 28
28 to 30
30 to 31
31 to 33
33 to 34
34 to 36
36 to 42
42 to 42 (current)
42 to 42 (home as of Saturday)

So, as of Saturday 11 homes in 42 years, which equates to moving every 3.8 years of my life to date.

What about you?

 

[Bob!]

8 in 55, so about 7 years average, mainly down to 24 years in the current house

 

[backson]

Birth to 1
1 to 22
22 to 35
35 to now

Got ants in your pants or something?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

11 in 46 years for me

 

[Chicken Runner61]

Birth to 1
1 to 2
2-25
25 - 42 moved out of home temp (divorce)
42-44
44-53 moved back to home bought ex out of house

 

[Dan Aitch]

Er...

Best guesses for the earlier years.

London 0-1
Peacehaven 1-22 (2 different places)
Seaford 23-28
Brighton 28-30
London 30 - 49 (2 different places)

So, 49/7 = 7 years per place.

Why did you ask?

God - you're lucky in charge of this place. I dread to think the reaction if it was anyone else posting this.

 

[StonehamPark]

20 in 25 years. Not the most ordinary childhood.

 

[brakespear]

Once every four years on average.

 

[Tarpon]

Once every 7 years.

 

[algie]

London
Hurstpierpoint
Hassocks
Haywards Heath
Cuckfield
Warninglid
Brighton
Crawley
Newhaven

Not in that order

 

[Stevie Boy]

birth to 26
26 - 36

just the 2 for me

 

[Superphil]

Good luck with the move Bozza.

Birth to 6 months
6 months to 2
2 to 4
4 to 5
5 to 8
8 to 9
9 to 12
12 to 13
13 to 16
16 to 18
18 to 20
20 to 25 in various bedsit's, flats etc.
25 to 32
32 to 45
45 (6 month rental between houses)
45 to present (48)

So that's 16 homes, the early years was moving around Europe as father was military, plus factor in 7 years in boarding school in Sussex, which was I guess a home too.
