If money is of no constraint I guess nothing. Otherwise moving is not easy anymore

Have you considered moving? That seems to be the obvious solution.

> you get married, have a kid, start a 401k and life is wayyyyy differentisn't that why you would move? Can't expect the world to change to suit i reckon.

Any chance of moving elsewhere?

cortesoft Jul 26, 2020 View on HN

Only if you are willing to move away from friends and family.

It's ok to move, many will pay for relocation!

volkk Jan 17, 2020 View on HN

okay but you don't have to entirely relocate your home there do you? this doesn't sound right

xvilka Apr 26, 2025 View on HN

There's always a choice to move somewhere else.

Vespasian Mar 20, 2023 View on HN

I feel you and that's without the imminent fear of having to move (back) to a different country.

Unless you either don't find one and/or do not want to move to another city.
