New member here, but I read the forum quite a bit. I am a 21 year old college drop out after 3 years at my dream university, and currently living at home with my parents. I decided about a year ago that the slowlane will never be for me, and decided to forgo my worthless degree and 50k a year job. I have done small scale fastlane businesses(buying/selling used items, flipping items, etc) and have been able to go from being dead broke to having around 40K saved in cash. I am currently stuck in the biggest rut of my life, and no matter what I seem to do I just can't get out of it. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years, but I mostly believe that I can't get out of this without a major change happening. I grew up and live in a poor town with nothing going on, and with cold weather that is unbearable. I also find it hard to not be deathly cheap, as my family grew up with no money and still has none. This is really the only reason I choose to stay at home, since I have very few expenses, and it's hard to think about a huge jump in living expenses when I think about how I could put that money to use in my business ventures. I have read multiple people on here who have shared how a move and complete change of scenery was life-changing, and though I am scared to do it I feel it is the only way for me to grow and better myself. I have no reasons to move to any specific place, just somewhere with warmer weather as is a major factor. What do you consider the value of changing your environment, and is it wise to up and leave to a random place where you have no ties and no exact future plans? I appreciate any input, especially those who have been in the same situation.
