Age 59
16 different addresses. From 0-19 yrs old only 2. From 19-33 years old, 11. From 33 to now, 3.
Glad I finally settled down a little. Those middle years sure were hectic.
Since I have left the service, few. My parents house when I was inbetween, a school that didn't work out, 4 in the same city ever since, a summer school, and a few security addresses.
In the service, oh oodles. Posts, bases, stations, schools, ships, and the like.
On a side point, the security addresses are perhaps the most racking ones in dreams. A place that is yours but you have forgotten about it, find it again as a place you can retreat to, but it is another life that you have not been to for years. In reality, they aren't that complex, a post office box or something where you can give a false image to someone tracking you, but as something in the world of spooks, it can play on the subconscious.
Then, one other note. All the family, the quick and the dead, are on my current address. As the controller of past finances, I rather ended up with it, even though they, either way, don't live here.

Age 67
Lost count ages ago. We moved ten times in three years, lived in our car for a year (AirBnBs, friends' guestrooms all over the midwest. We're not broke, just nomadic.)
How do I even count all that?
16 major ones. But then there was the time the post office re-assigned the family address, so we moved without moving. I now live at an address that I don't live at, just never had any need to change the postal address. If I were to count incidental addresses, the number would be higher.

This is an amazing thread! I thought I was unusual at 21 (that I can remember) but you guys have exceeded that. We need to take an average at some point.
In contrast, my sister has only 2. The house she was born in and their just-married house of 56 years!
I'm 54.
3 addresses. I lived in the same house until I got married, then spent 1 year in an apartment, then bought the house where I am today.
I hated moving and can't imagine moving 10+ times. Y'all are troupers.
