You should just live near the place you're driving to.

Oh my God, why didn't I think of that! Simply have more money, thank you internet stranger. My problems are solved!

Well I just think you should live closer but that's a great idea too. You should try that.

Real shit though, I can solve your problems. Just tell me what they are, I'll give you my best answer.

I'm glad you think I can afford to triple my rent, but that's not happening.

Edit: If you mean the road trip scenario, my family works in various different industries, and the opportunities are better in different cities. That's also not happening.
