<prompt> Human: Im currently employed, and make about 50-60kyear which is commission based so I will be making more by next year depending on how hard I want to work. Ive been making extra payments on my auto loan to pay it off as quickly as possible-- still have about 13k to go.I have an emergency savings account of 4500, and my 401k accounts total about 11k at this point. I plan on socking away as much as possible into both accounts before I do anything drastic.I want to pick up and move, but I want to do it as responsibly as possible. What do I need to have in order prior to taking off? Im reaching out to friends both in the country and outside of it to get a feel for my options.Im also toying with the idea of going to school full time since I do not have a degree. Do you think its worth it to do so, or should I just put my head down and work as much as possible to save as much as possible? Also toying with the idea of getting TEFL certified so I can teach abroad. I have no kids and no significant other, and Ive been wanting to make a major change forever. Any advice? Comments, questions, concerns? Anything is appreciated!Edit: Honestly you guys have no idea how appreciative I am that you took the time to reply! I have a friend who is moving across country in about 2 months or so, Im considering going with. I just want some sort of reassurance that its not impossible to uproot myself and still be ok--I want to make this dream a reality.  <response>: Fortune favors the bold.At 25, with no kids or SO, you can do whatever you want. The one thing I would suggest is to come up with a plan - a plan for what to do if everything you do falls apart in 6 months and you find yourself with no prospects in a foreign country: give yourself an out so that you can at least get home and get back on your feet.
