Of the 4,000 kids I went to high school with (and the dozens of other kids I met through my folks) it was the very rare exception that the kids weren't in at least their second home - often the third home of their parents.
The phrase "starter home" didn't come out of thin air. Before they finished elementary school, my kids had lived in two homes - the second and third homes my wife I owned. The same is true of everyone I went to undergrad school with whom I've stayed in touch. Before I finished elementary school, I'd lived in three homes (not counting the married dorms at IU) in three different states. We weren't money. My dad taught high school and my mom worked part time as a nurse. We lived in very middle class neighborhoods where most of the folks living there were also in their second homes. FWIW.
