Too many places! More than anyone who has posted so far and I don't even want to think about it. It's gross.
I don't like moving around all the time, like I have had to do during most of my life. I hate it with a passion. Consequently I am determined to stay put. I am as firmly planted as I can possibly manage, right here, right now. I don't want to or intend to EVER move again.  Nope, no way, not me, not again (please!!!) 
F and I were just talking about this an hour ago. We don't see any reason right now why we would ever need to move again. Of course, situations change but so far so good.

I'm amazed by the number of places some of you have lived. I hope you didn't buy at all of those locations and pay Realtor fees every time you moved.

You should be able to afford in-home care when/if needed so I think you are done moving.

Went to Ireland on an R&R from (beige) Riyadh in the mid 1980s.....the contrast with Saudi was so pronounced that the vibrant green actually made our eyes hurt.

That's what I am hoping! I guess it's possible that when all the baby boomers reach that age, in-home care costs might skyrocket. But then care facility costs would, too. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

My maternal grandmother lived alone with very little assistance until she passed at age 97. My paternal grandmother is still going strong living alone at age 85. You may never have to have assisted living. I don't think anyone in my family has ever had to go to assisted living...yet. You may never have to either.

I didn't, making me an expert of bad renters, as in every person that rented a place directly before us had to be the worst renters in the world. I've got stories of what they left behind. I would never never be a landlord.
When I was in the mining industry, some of my co workers with families would buy a house, but if they were transferred by the company the company usually bought their house.

I have lived in 11 homes, but have only owned two. My early adulthood nomadic lifestyle made renting the best option. The first home I owned for 20 years; the second is my current residence. I did not give serious consideration to buying a home until I knew I could live in that city for at least five years.

How long do you have to be somewhere to have 'lived' there? Or just not in a hotel or leaving out of a suitcase.

Good question. I consider 'lived' anywhere 1) I was there long enough to pay utilities. I have a longer list of places I merely 'worked'. 2) I was there long enough to require mail delivered/forwarded there.
