How many places have you lived?

Another post (the one about if you are afraid of the internet) got me thinking through the list of places that I have lived. Talking about places where I have lived for over a year. We just passed the 6 year mark in our current home. That is the second longest I have ever lived at one address in my long life. I have lived at 25 different addresses over the years for longer than a year. Lived in 6 different States (Texas twice). And lived in 2 different Countries. Told my wife the last time we moved that this was it. My body is too broken down to move anymore. Yesterday she was talking about getting a smaller place. I don't see that happening for awhile. LOL!

So, are there any other nomadic mobile people out there?

13

I stopped counting at 24 places that I've lived. One of the drawbacks of having my parents get divorced when I was young - lots of moving around. Was in three different schools in two different states for sixth grade.

But the number of places that was a year or more was fewer - 14 if memory is correct.

15 for me in my 35 years. Working in construction means where I drive to work is always changing so every couple years I would move closer to whichever project I was on. At one point I moved 6 times in 7 years.

11 all in Dallas County. We have lived in our present home since 1973.
Actually never lived East of Central Expressway.
I like it here.

Did 5 years in Denver (Lowry AFB). They had bad traffic, but I hated Phoenix traffic worse. Lot of fond memories from my Denver days (met and married my wife of 34 years, worked part-time at Gart Bros, snow skiing, 8 to 1 female to male ratio, hunting, fishing, etc). But I would never move back there.

I'm 52 and had 2 jobs (3 if you count military).

I'm at 22 in 3 states.
Crazy
No wonder I hate moving.

Born in Greenville.
Moved to Dallas in 1985
Still at same Dallas County home since 1985.
But I swear on a stack of bibles if my wife dies before I do I will move to escape these highway robbery property taxes
