Implicit in what I'm saying is getting together with like-minded local people to pool resources for a move.
Once you've found that initial $50, you'll find more margins. Maybe it comes by switching over to lentils, eggs, salt, and multivitamins. Maybe it comes from canceling cable. Maybe it comes by cutting out the internet for awhile while you put the money to better use. Maybe it comes by picking up an early morning newspaper route in the wealthier part of town. Maybe it comes by working at the local Walmart distributor 25 miles away. Maybe it comes by selling the wood on your property, should you have some. The point is that margins for super-saving and liquidation are possible.
Years where nothing has gone wrong that needs to deplete that relocation fund.
It's a nice dream, but it seems like a dream to me. (Also grew up poor, though not as poor as a lot of people.)
