Technically I charge $100 for a 1 hour massage outcall with my portable table. That's just for a basic swedish, deep tissue is $120. For 90 minutes I charge $140/$160 for swedish/dt. For people more than 15 miles away, it's an extra $20. No, I don't do happy endings. People have no problem paying these prices. I used to charge half of these amounts 8 years ago when I first got licensed but then I learned over time that my time is extremely valuable. I don't leave my house for less than $100.

I make my own cbd infused oil for pennies practically, which the client can pay an extra fee if they want that ($25 for full body cbd oil treatment or $10 for 1 body part like just the back or the arms or whatever), otherwise there is plain oil for no extra fee. I can make a half gallon of CBD infused massage oil for only $30 so having one client do a CBD treatment basically pays for the whole thing. The rest is pure profit.

Only problem is that no matter how much or how little marketing I put out, I get the same number of clients and it is never stable throughout the year. Hence why I live with my parents and I'm going back to real college to get a real career.

Yeah, that's a tough trade.  I dated/lived with a massage therapist for several years and although the pay was decent when there was work to be had, the work was never as consistent as she would have liked.  So she tried working in larger operations, both in big chain (e.g. Massage Envy) and private companies, to drum up more work, but because a part of her cut would go to the owners, she ended up working more but not necessarily making more.  Not to mention, massage therapy is hard physical work, I generally don't think massage therapists can make a lifelong career out of it, because their own bodies break down, putting so much effort into relieving other's pain.

Anywho, I think the spirit of the question "Who makes 75+ dollars an hour" really boils down to "Who makes 150,000+ dollars a year".  I've run a handful of my own businesses over the years, and while my per sale profit margins could be huge for little time spent in final execution, it would be unreasonable to calculate that down to an hourly wage, as the actual time spent tends to be somewhat erratic when you're running your own business.  I've seen it 80 hours one week and less than 10 the next.  You'll also often see some long stretches of capital intensive spending, which you may not reap the profit rewards for until a much later time, depending on your business of course.

But to answer the OP's question... it's not so much a matter of "how far" I would be willing to move.  Were it not for presently having a family and child (which in my view makes having stronger roots somewhat beneficial for the child's stability/development), I would move almost anywhere I could foresee a high quality of life, especially if I were hungry for the money that a job in that location would offer.  But I wouldn't move to a bunk or especially dangerous area just for the money, it would have to be a place I could reasonably expect to enjoy living.
