Dear Teachers and Native Speakers,

I'd like to find out if there is much difference in meaning between the following sentences:

I wonder where we'll be living ten years from now?
I wonder where we'll live ten years from now? (I believe the sentence is grammatically correct.)

If yes, what is the difference?

Thank you for your help,

1. I wonder where we'll be living ten years from now?
2. I wonder where we'll live ten years from now? (I believe the sentence is grammatically correct.) It is.
To me, #1 implies " I wonder where our home will be"; (it may be in our present house/flat, or we may decide to move at some time in the next ten years). #2 suggests that we may may move, or have to move, in ten years' time.
