No, the financial situation is complex. It isn't about patience. Quick example would be having the opportunity four years ago to work for Rackspace as a Linux Admin but I couldn't afford to move to San Antonio on my own at that time. That's the kind of stuff I am talking about. And no, you are not making too many assumptions. It's my fault for writing such a sloppy OP.

If you got an offer from them, they wouldn't be willing to relocate you?

It seems like if that's the issue but you are getting offers then I imagine you should be able to negotiate your way in. That or you could just go into debt momentarily.

Even start ups fly people in for interviews; I can't imagine they'd have too much trouble relocating you. That is, if you're willing of course.
