Rex Kickass Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 How many times have you moved in your life? What was the most difficult move? What was the highest number of times that you've moved in one year? I've moved 25 times, all since 1995. The most difficult move was when my landlord told me that my lease expired two days before it did and I had to move in three hours. I once moved five times in one year.

I can't even imagine moving that much. Man...so like everytime you call one of your friends they must dread answering the phone as they assume you are asking them to help you move..again! Counting in and out of college dorms/apartments I've moved 10 times. But that doesn't even really count so only 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've consolidated over time so it's not like I had a lot to move. My last apartment in Michigan, I had a bed, desk, two folding chairs and folding table. And that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 We moved into the house we're currently living in, right before I started kindergarten. Tomorrow will be my second move-in at college; this time I'm living in an apartment w/ 3 other people. I'm really looking forward to it. So far, the moves have been painless. During our first move, I was probably too young to know what's going on. Plus, we only moved a few blocks away from where we originally were. And as far as both of the college moves, I was more than ready for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 4.5 moves. My parents moved into our house on Fairfield when I was a few months old, then at 16 we moved to the house on Springfield. At 24 I moved into my first apartment. Right before my 26th birthday, I moved in with Brian. About a year later the 1/2 moved happened - we had to move all our stuff to the garage and basement for the remodel/rebuild of our house. If we move again it will either be to Seattle or rural southern Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Housewise I have moved 8 times, soon to be 9 once we close on the new house. If you include college moves it would be more like a couple dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Housewise just once, back in 1997. So I've been pretty lucky on that regard, doubt it will continue though, especially if I move overseas to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 6 times. Where my folks lived when I was born, to Florida, back to Chicago, to an apartment, to my townhouse, and now to the house I live in. They've all been pretty uneventful. Although I now have way too much crap and don't ever want to move again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I could have afforded furniture, but I figured - I'd just have to move it. I have furniture now thanks. In fact, I've spent so much money at IKEA, I'm now part swedish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've moved 9 times. Moving, if I remember correctly, is the second most stressful thing after a death in the family. Well, family in general. when I moved after my divorce...it was over Thanksgiving break and my Great Aunt had just died. So, my weekend was...Thanksgiving day Thursday, funeral Friday, move Saturday!!! Weeeeee!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not counting college, I lived in my parent's house for 26 years, then an apartment for a few months, then my first house with my wife. Then we moved 3 years ago from Chicago to Phoenix (wife's company moved us - and we took everything that wasn't nailed down). Unfortunately, I've spent the last 3 years trying to get rid of all the crap we moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Born in Chicago. Moved to Glenview. Moved to Buffalo Grove. Moved to Crystal Lake. Moved to a different house in Crystal Lake. Moved to McHenry. Moved back to Crystal Lake. Moved to Harvard. Still in Harvard. The first move to Crystal Lake was tough at the time, but turned out to be the greatest thing that happened to me. I loved growing up in that town (it's where I am right now, as I work in Crystal Lake). The move to a different house in C. Lake was BAD. It was a beautiful house, but things went terribly bad for my family with it. The move to McHenry was the move out of the house. I got an apartment, and then got married. Moving back to Crystal Lake was great. My wife and I bought our first house, which meant a kid was to follow. 1.5 years later, my daughter was born. So that house gets the best memories for my life changing in the greatest way ever. The move to Harvard is good, due to loving the house we are in. I have great memories though of everyplace I have been, and nothing too terrible for memories, and no scars. I hope to never, ever have to move again. I hate it with a passion. I guess the moving is O.K., but the house sale and buying SUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 No "official moves", just college moves. I've moved into a dorm once, and into an apartment 3 diff times. This last one was probably close to a 'real' move, as we rented out a storage place when moving out and then a few weeks later moved in to a different place.

SnB Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 My family moved into a new house when i was 4, and that was the house i "grew up" in. So i guess i haven't had any "real" moves, besides moving into a dorm twice, which isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Just a few college moves for me. For those at UIUC, it was: to Bromley Hall, to ISR (2x) to an apartment on Clark and then to my current place. The only move that was a pain in the ass was freshman year when Bromley had my roommate (DonkeyKongerko) and I move from the 9th floor to the 13th floor. The staff guaranteed us help...which came only after DonkeyKongerko and I had moved 99.9% of all our crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both moves were real fast. The only hard part was getting the carpet under everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, my weekend was...Thanksgiving day Thursday, funeral Friday, move Saturday!!! Weeeeee!!! If my parents should happen to die before I move again, I'll be moving into their house. Either that or I want to convince them to sell it to me eventually. It's the house I grew up in and much bigger than the POS I have now. I know what a pain in the ass moving can be but I can't wait to move out of my current house. My only problem is that I'm not sure I could find anyone willing to buy it from me. Especially considering the money I'd have to spend to make it sellable... To answer the question, I've moved 3 times. Twice when I was living with my parents (both before I turned 8 and all within a mile of each other) and then once into my current house.
