If you're not willing to move sounds like your economic situation isn't that bad.

  Or, as I just explained above, your economic situation is so bad that you outright can't afford it unless you're desperate enough to walk however many hundreds of miles required.

    > your economic situation is so bad that you outright can't afford it unless you're desperate enough to walk however many hundreds of miles required The answer to someone who can't or won't move, and has no economic use where they are, is subsidy. (Well, I guess or letting them starve.) If someone insists on staying where they are and not upskilling, either because they can't or won't, they're implicitly demanding a subsidy.

      A subsidy would indeed be a huge help, and I'm all for it.

    I could be a million dollars in debt, disabled, with kids, and still find a way to move. Sorry but I don't buy it that you're ever too poor to move. I think people just don't want to make the sacrifices necessary for it.

      Can be tough if parenting is shared. You'll probably have to see a judge and if the other parent won't agree they'll just award them custody and now there is a warrant for your arrest because you missed payments while hitchhiking to some far away place with jobs. Otherwise yeah easy problem to solve, there is always a train or car you can ride on.
