- scarface74 9y agoI moved four hours away from my family when I was 22 years old. I moved from a small town where I had lived all of my life, to a larger city with better opportunities. Military families move constantly. I have a friend who was constantly being relocated for his job. It happens. If the job market dried up where I live now, I would pick up and move with no second thoughts.
