            Moved once as a child.....in the last 25 years have moved twice...and in between those timeframes, roughly 8-10 times.

                Moved too many times as a child and as an adult. We even had tri and that accounted for a few with 4 different schools in the first 5 months of 1974. The longest for me in one place was 11 years, so far. Living in this place will be longer as long as my health last. So far this August will be 10 years here.

                      I used to move every two years when my oldest was younger just to avoid her biological father finding us. Then I finally moved into this house and I’ve been living here for almost 16yrs.

                        I've lost count. Most of it was when I was married. I've been in this home for nearly 15 years and expect to die or be raptured from this home.

                                            I have moved many times due to my husbands employment, and twice was overseas but we have lived here since we built the house in 1987. Can't stand the thought of moving and there really isn't anywhere we'd like to go. The new houses are small on small blocks of land and my cats like lots of trees so a move wouldn't suit them.

                                              The one I'm currently living in is my longest - 25 years but overall I've lived three times in the NSW coastal area the rest in Sydney suburbs, including after renovating my parent's house so I guess it's really over 10 times I've moved.

                                                    Sadly, my parents were financially irresponsible. We moved eleven times growing up and they were always renters.

But after a while, I needed a change, so I moved out to Homebush West. Closer to the city, a bit more energy, a new vibe. It felt like I was stepping into something bigger.Then, for whatever reason—maybe peace and quiet, maybe just life doing its thing—I ended up in Mount Annan. Bit more chill, a bit more space. It was a reset.But I didn’t stay still for long. Next stop: Auburn. Busy, diverse, full of life. It was a whole different energy—kind of loved it. From there, I swung east to Maroubra. Beach life! Honestly, that ocean breeze hit different. It was a total vibe shift, like I was living in a postcard.And now? I’ve landed in Artarmon. North Shore living—super convenient, nice and balanced. Feels like everything I’ve learned along the way led me here.

The LAST time I moved was in Nov 2019 and have been in this same place since then with no plans to move, lol. I have owned a house in my mid 20s...I went through ALL that nonsense. I sold it, made a profit, and have rented ever since. I have now landed in a place my former acquaintance from high school owns...and my rent is low and everything is included except internet. And my rent in Nov 2019 was $960/month CAD...it is STILL only $999.60 a month. This is for a 2 bedroom apartment. For comparison...Nov 2019 I was looking at a bachelor spot for $625. That SAME bachelor spot today rents for $1450. This is what a fake pandemic does as gov't prints money backed by nothing, leading to MASSIVE inflation. Thankfully, my landlord DOES NOT rely on this for his main income, he works for Google...lol, so he don't need to jack up rents and has only raised my rent twice in 6 years.

And, to be fair, 11 of those times was moving BACK to my grandparents "in between" new places OR to move in with them to assist them with their homecare which I am glad I did, may they both RIP. But I am NOT moving ever again...unless it is to the "bush" and I say goodbye to society! :)

Australia goin thru same issues as us in Canada...obviously your prices are much higher, similar to our big cities like Toronto, Montreal, and the worst one Vancouver. My brother had to leave Toronto...his 1 br condo was $3400 a month. lol. He bought a house an hour NORTH of Toronto, his mortgage is only $2500 a month.

I lost my husband last year to cancer. He was a plumber and builder and along the way we bought a few old houses and lived there while doing them up then selling while also having two children and also working together in a retail shop for 19 years. Plus he bought some rural land 2 hours from where we lived and raised cattle. He loved his cattle and was his way of relaxing in a sense. Anyway a busy life which meant we moved around a bit.
