What age did you buy the 'forever' house?
Discussion
I was 34 and a first time buyer. The stress and expense of buying was the most stressful thing in life to that point in life. Extending and renovating is now the most expensive and stressful thing in life to date.
I think I'd move again if I had the money to comfortably do what I wanted to do. Otherwise this house will be more than fine as a forever home and was intended as such when bought.

We haven’t bought / built our forever home yet - that’ll be our next place. This will happen in the coming years, when our last remaining parent’s time is up… harsh perhaps, but that’s our reality.
We have been in our current place for 21 years - it is big enough at around 200 sq meters, but the layout and location are not ideal, just the best available for work. It has too many bedrooms, so we are using one as a music room, one as an office, and another as a hobbies room. Can you tell that we don’t have kids?

Like anything you buy what you think is your best option on the day you make the decision, beyond that, circumstances change and you react to that by means of extending/upsizing or downsizing.
First House - 26 - 1000 Sq/Ft.
Second House - 36 - 1900 Sq/Ft (Re-location)
Third House - 41 - 2600 Sq/Ft (In the process of moving, 2 miles from #2 but much better suited for us as we now have twins)
