This person admitted they won't actually carry through with it, they just want to sound like a wealthy person.

They clearly are wealthy enough that their brain is half rotted, causing them to say things like “I’ve seen many people living in poverty because they refuse to move”

Absurd

Literally, when I told them they were detached from reality they responded “what? No I’m not, it’s not expensive I just rent a truck and move!”

I got a new job after the pandemic and got 3k in relocation compensation, and that didn't even cover the most bare bones of a move.
