Moving to a higher-income city (or country, obviously) to facilitate earning to give is something that people should think about, I agree. Whether or not you come out as having more disposable income is partly dependent on what you want your living standard to be. For instance, if you want to live centrally in a big house, than the increased income may not fully compensate for the higher housing costs, but if you are willing to rent a room or have a lengthy commute into the ’burbs, than it is more likely to be worth it.
Another thing to consider regarding moving to earn more is remoteness and quality of life. Jobs in natural resources, for instance, can be very well-paying to compensate for the remoteness, but the trade-off is that they are far away from civilization and have poor quality of life (ie. few amenities or women). For instance, the mining industry in Australia or America’s fracking meca of North Dakota. Even in heavy industry, there are lots of white collar jobs, eg. Engineer, accountant, human resources.
