My family are all in this town, I like it here, cost of living is cheap(ish). And because of my own bad decisions regarding student debt, credit cards, and just generally not being good with money ten years ago, I'm still working off my debts - the end result is that I'd have to already have a good job lined up in order to move (I couldn't afford it otherwise), but I have never heard back from any companies out of state, when I applied using my current address.
Have you ever tried applying to remote jobs? You don't necessarily have to move to get paid well!
I've considered it and done some digging, but haven't found anything within my skillset that even has remote work as an option.
My dad does full time remote with a bunch of travel around the world, to boot; the lucky bastard. ;)
