So here's my scenario. I've received some advice on this, all pretty similar. I'm interested to hear what complete strangers who think the same way I do have to say.
I am <25, single, and tied down to virtually nothing at the moment. I worked my tail off in university and before university to not only get a great degree, but graduate debt-free. I accepted a job less than 2 years ago in a lucrative field, where I am paid over $90,000 with very solid benefits. Unfortunately, I HATE the city it's located in. No much to do, few young people, no public transportation, parks, bike lanes, or any other outdoor activity. probably around 100,000 people live here, and its mainly families and elderly folk. It's about 6 hours from the nearest big city (>500,000 residents). Also, cost of living in my current city is relatively high. I've been fairly mustachian, and have been able to save around 55% of my income. I'm at about $75,000 in savings. This is huge, because at the current rate, I would hit my FIRE date around 35 or younger if I stayed in this position.
But like I said, I hate where I live. I can't stand it. However, my job is pretty landlocked to this area, and if I move back home (Dallas) or to another metropolis like I desire, I know that my savings rate will take a hit. I'll be spending around the same amount of money, but there's an 80% chance I won't find a job in the same field, so I'll likely take a huge paycut. I also don't know if leaving my first job (and a very nice one, at that) before my 2-year anniversary would be a horrible decision.
Basically, I really want to earn as much as I can now so I can be FI faster. But, I want to move to a place where I can actually enjoy my life, especially because I'm in my early 20's. Help!
