This is why we move house regularly.

We feel like we have had several ‘different lives’ by moving interstate, then back, then somewhere new.

We do visit and research each area first but the thought of living in the one house all our adult lives blows our minds.

I recently was contacted online by some high school buddies and my then boyfriend ( because they were planning a reunion) and it shocked me that they were all still living there, all these years later, their kids gone to the same schools we did, going to the same church… I guess some folk like that but I think I’d have gone bonkers.

Ten years is the maximum we stay in any area.

Its like the thrill of a new romance when we move, getting to know the new area.

You should do a r/casualiama, I have so many questions. I assume you manage easily due to a fortunate financial situation. But how do you handle all your belongings? Do you live a minimalist lifestyle? House buying is a pain most people don’t want to go through, how do you manage the aches and pains of new home ownership and finding all the new issues that need to be resolved?
