Yes, exactly. In general, the less one has, the easier it is to relocate. Straight out of prison, the world was my oyster, and I took the first job that I found. That $10/hr job was great, but I was offered a $17/hr job a month later, as a barely HS graduate that was fresh out of prison. The $10/hr job immediately offered $14 to keep me, but I knew construction was not the best fit for me.

My point is, there are any number of excuses to dig in.

As Scott Adams says, decide what you want, and then pay the cost to get it. That might involve relocation, or any number of other "costs".
