[quote=Anonymous]If me, what I would do would depend on health and assets. If I were in good health and had some personal goals involving different parts of the country/world, then I might consider. But money would also be a factor. Moving three times might be a rounding error for some, yet could eat up substantial money possibly needed at a later date for others. Case in point: my ILs were living in a great home with an elevator, yet decided they wanted to downsize to a one-story when in their mid-70s. My parents were about ten years older than them and I had spent time trying to figure out their best options as they had limited means. I flagged to DH and SiL that the downsize would involve transaction costs that would not be recovered down the road and that either remaining in their current house or opting for a retirement community may be the more prudent option. My ILs opted to downsize and now are at a crossroads with one in faltering health.

So if moving three times sounded mentally and physically taxing as well as a drain on money, then maybe OP should figure out what her DH really wants and how they can compromise in a way that works as best as possible for both of them.[/quote]
