I am not from this area and would be open to moving if the right opportunity came along. I dont like finance, I left a relationship last year in which it was all managed for me, I now have everything set on auto-pay and rarely engage with the money, I spend all my energy trying to keep it coming in and spending it. I havent had a vacation in 6 years, I have never taken a real life changing breath taking vacation. Its time, I am burning out at work and need a break.Given my situation of needing to have more space, wanting to feel better about myself and needing a vacation and my current incomeassets. What should I be doing not doing. All comments greatly appreciated!  <response>: Lets say you make 115kyear. Thats about 9500month gross before taxes, disability, or social security withholding. Assuming a 30 withholding just an estimate; your mileage may vary, that leaves 6650 net per month, which seems pretty good for a single person living alone. Right now you only have 2,600 listed rent, car loan, 401K in monthly payments. What are your other expenses?? E.g., 1 credit cards; 2 student loans; 3 utilities; 4 cell phone; 5 groceries; 6 gas; 7 child support; 8 alimony; 9 household; 10 personal care? If you provide a more complete budget, we can probably help more.
