    It can be a pretty big financial undertaking to uproot your life and move to another state. Not everyone has the savings to do that without severe risk to their basic needs.

    Also it can be emotionally challenging to move away from your friends/family.

      Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

      Yeah, I’m broke. I had to wipe out what little savings I had just to move to another apartment down the street. There’s no way I could move elsewhere without the support of my family.

      OK, I’ve been at the bottom here in Denmark, and I’ve moved twice across the country during that period. But in Denmark we get help you probably don’t get in USA.
      I seriously hope things improve in USA, because it’s ridiculous that people have to struggle like they do in one of the worlds richest countries.

          Lmao right? Texas alone is 3 times as wide as Denmark. If you were to move from say Dallas to Los Angeles, you’d be moving about 1500 miles, or 6 Denmarks.
