Relocating to another state brings with it all sorts of complications and conflicts. Just because he got a promotion it does not mean he will make more money. Jacob has to determine if by moving to this state his cost of living rises. There is also the factor of family and friends. Where Jacob now resides, he knows the ins and outs, maybe has friends who support him, maybe family. Moving to another state means starting over and losing that support structure. If he is in a romantic relationship, this could very well end it since it is not easy for people to uproot and move. Therefore there are financial and emotional conflicts to moving.
