So I think the first order of business is to pass the interviews. If your goal is to take the highest paying job (or pay to col ratio job), you're gonna need to land it first. And don't stop applying for new jobs in the meantime, there's a non-zero chance all 3 reject you at some part of the process.
Another way to help the anxiety is to organize these thoughts by making a spreadsheet. Expected monthly income in a column, Rent you see on apartment listing sites in each ideal living area for each job in another column, commute time in a third column, moving costs in a 4th column. That should summarize the largest amounts of money coming in and going out if you were to take any job.

Lastly, just remember that no job is permanent. You'll always have FOMO but getting a new job is infinitely better than not getting a new job. You get something new to show new skills on your resume even if you're only there for half a year.
also as an added financial tip: once you get an offer, you can ask for relocation assistance and many places will actually add that on, given you accept their offer. that way you can save a few thousand dollars up front and not have to worry about the moving logistics. (If the jobs are remote-possible, you can ask for that post-offer too. just be ready to move if they say no XD)
