Living in the same house all of your life.


My mates nana lived in the same privately rented house from being 18 until she went into a home at 101. She’ll have paid for the house 50 times over.

My Aunty lives in the same house she was born in. She bought it off my grandparents when they moved, she’s in her 70’s. I’ve got no idea if she moved out at any point.
 
I’m 71 and lived in 12 houses
worked local in the villages and know many people I don’t know anyone who has lived in the same house all there lives
however it was common before and after the war I believe
 
Think it's more common in other cultures where houses are actually passed down from generation, but much rarer for the oldies to go in a home.

I like moving about too much personally, don't think I'll ever buy a 'forever home'
 
My mam is 87 and has lived in the same house since she was about 10. My dad moved in when they got married and then kept the house when her parents died - both before I was born.
 
We had neighbours, 2 sisters who had lived in the same house together from birth until they died in their 80s. Still find it incredible.
 
My good lady has lived in the same street all her life, where she was born and our current house, one of the reasons I got with her was she had a house 😉
I’ve lived in about 20 different houses 🙄
 
I reckon I will be low on the number.

In 6 decades I've lived in Home, 1 student, 3 in That London, 1 last 3 decades

So one dwelling per decade.

Can’t think of anything worse. I’ve been in my current house 12 years and haven’t touched some things since i moved in. I like familiarity.
 
Mam and dad lived in the same house for nearly 50 years until a few year ago when they moved to a smaller house.

I've lived in 9 houses in the last 33 years, mostly through moving around with work. Think this one is my final home though
