Not everybody has the option to just move. A guy with a good professional job that provides his family’s health insurance and has a pension owed to him that he’ll lose if he just quits doesn’t really have that option unless he wants to start over broke in his late 50’s. I’m 54 and tied to my job, I can’t start over now. Fortunately I don’t have to live in the schithole where my company is located, but a lot of people do.

Everyone’s situation is different. Not everyone can just load the dog into the travel trailer and move to a better state then get a great job within a week of getting there. It doesn’t work that way for everybody.
