FAMILY BUILDING SINCE 1957

Why Do People Choose to Move?

September 7, 2016 by Kyle

Have you ever had a friend from your childhood suddenly move away? Maybe you’ve experienced moving away yourself. For some, it could simply be to the other side of town. For others, it may be another city, country or continent. But it’s not just the locations that are different. Each and every person that moves has a different reason for moving. However, these reasons can often be classified into general categories that you can probably consider as “common reasons.” Here are some examples:

New job opportunities

A lucrative new job offer is one of the most common reasons for moving. Age, gender or civil status are not factors when it comes to this reason. Every person, regardless of whether they are young or old, male or female, single or married, may be tempted to leave town if the grass appears greener on the other side. With that said, however, it’s much often easier for young bachelors or bachelorettes to relocate for a job, since they don’t have to consider the wants and needs of their spouse and/or children.

Housing reasons

A change in housing needs is another very common reason to move. Overall, married couples or families are the most likely to cite this as their purpose. For example, they may want to move to a bigger home if their family is expanding or if their existing home is no longer a good fit for their current needs.

To establish a new household

We’ve all got to leave the nest at some point, right? Getting your own place is often considered as one of the most important milestones in one’s life, since it is only at that point that you can truly call yourself an independent adult. Because of this, you’ll need to thoroughly prepare for the big move by carefully studying all your options to find the house or apartment that best suits you.

Financial reasons

Not all reasons for moving are happy ones. In today’s economy, life is tougher than ever. There’s no shame in having to move back in with your parents or selling your home for something less costly. For example, individuals who struggle to find their place in the workforce after college will usually end up moving back in with mom and dad. Temporarily, of course.

Family reasons

A loved one falling ill is definitely a good enough reason to move back in with them. That way, you can take much better care of your ailing relative. Family-related reasons may also include inheriting a piece of property from a deceased relative or choosing to live in your family’s ancestral home.
