There's a huge difference between thinking it's a good idea to uproot and move, wanting to do the same thing, and then actually doing it.
Like somebody previously posted, once we enter in committed relationships, begun establishing careers, even starting a family, there are so many things to consider in relocating beyond the 'it's too expensive here and really not THAT nice'.

Bang on. There's no guarantee that your spouse/partner is employable in another country and would make the same money. But, of course, maybe that's something to consider when picking a mate - passports, international employability, etc.
I can see moving to another city in Canada, particularly when the kids are too young to know the difference and can adjust easily. Some people are fortunate enough to have jobs that can be done from other cities, while others are in niche careers that are specific to one or two cities in the country. If you have a network here and are established in your profession, it could take years to build up the same network in another city. Or maybe some of us have other things to consider, like caring for a dying/ailing family members.
