> I have personally relocated for financial reasons three times in my life. I moved away from home for college, I moved to a new location for my first job, then I recently relocated to the Bay Area because this was the optimal place for me to be economically. > I make enough to travel to visit family several times a year are you serious, dude? leave the advice giving for people who have actually been poor and understand the logistic difficulties of poverty. "just move"? you have the freedom to move to the most economically optimal place for you, and you think THAT is equivalent to the situation of a family living hand to mouth in transitional housing or section 8? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
