Incredibly indecisive person clocking in. I have a relatively stable job (making 130Kish) and a support system in NYC. My job burns me out regularly. This and a close friend dieing last year has also had a hand in sinking my relationship and we are breaking up.   
  
Despite the workload I have barely 15k in savings, I have 24k in Student loans (originally 40sih). I'm looking for new housing now and everything feels unaffordable. My rent will be going up at least from 1700 to 2600, unless I can find a roommate. I've tried to find a new job, but I can't seem to get out of this industry that feeds off your every waking hour.

I want to escape.

Moving back home would be great financially but ruin my mental health. Moving to outside NYC would mean buying a car and wiping my savings (I don't want car debt.) This is assuming I can stay remote, which is likely but not a given. Staying in NYC will keep me on the hampster wheel where I will eventually crash out I think.

So my plan is maybe move to Japan?

I've been learning Japanese for a while and was there for a good 4 weeks recently. I know it's escapism and obviously weeb fantasy, but I have eradicated the passion for my actual skills at these jobs. Maybe I could do language school, find a job, and then wait out the obviously looming Recession.

Idk, can you make my choice please.
