<prompt> Human: Two years ago I had a smaller life. A lot can happen in two years, and I feel like taking a year of my life to travel isnt the right move for me anymore - for the first time in my life my job, family, friends, and confidence are all plants growing in my garden, and I dont want to do something too far out there and squish them.This isnt a windfall; I am in my 20s and worked my way through all kinds of jobs to make these savings happen, and Ive lived with my parents for about 3 years. Do I hide this away? Its my only savings ever. House? Casino? Feeling slightly directionless, but Ill take that to another subreddit.  <response>: How about scale back your plans and instead fund several amazing longish vacations over the next few years? You could take 3-4 weeks each time and then get back to family and friends. Best of both worlds.
