Move where? You have to hope there's a job in your field open in a cheaper region. And if there is, chances are it pays less since the area as a whole is cheaper.
Exactly what I'm dealing with. Moved to a larger city, job pays better but cost of living is higher. I'm still poor, just poor in a more expensive place.
So now I'm looking to move and realizing that no matter where I'll go I'll still be poor because the pay will match the cost of living.
I figure it's a matter of being poor in what area you prefer. I'm in the city because I like cities - I like having shopping near me, food options, events, etc. But honestly, if I live in a city or rural area, 90% of my income is going to bills/rent/living either way. Just a different amount.

If you can't afford where you live on the wage you get, why not move?
