Relocating to access a lower cost of living as a worker is a fallacy. The survival margin is the same everywhere. The cost is a measure of opportunity. Exporting wealth risks marooning one's self.

Struggling to live in an expensive area is a measure of one's access to the average opportunities available to others.

Merchants able to transport wealth are an ancient tradition. Many have profited greatly from the endeavor. Many have also died along the journey or been forced to establish a new living standard for themselves in a place of lesser opportunity when they are confronted with an unexpected challenge and can not return. The journey down is easy, but mobility is not symmetrical.
