It's not about being greedy. The average American doesn't have any significant amount of money saved. 10k might seem like a lot, but moving to Seattle, that wouldn't cushion if something happened. Moving without any funds or plan is how people end up homeless in expensive cities.

If you don’t have saving then you are in for a bad time lol and probably shouldn’t move

I agree. But that's why I pointed to op for a starter entry level job with no savings, 10k isn't enough to consider it a full relocation. Sure it might cover part of moving but unless you've got a nest egg or emergency fund, there needs to be a real plan.
