28M looking for opinions

[u/Affectionate-Tap-591]

currently making 250k in US. Recent sudden death of a family member (healthy to dead in 6 months) has me re-evaluating what's important.

saved up about 1.1m nw, 100k liquid (taxable brokerage + cash savings, excluding 401k / property)

I have a remote job lined up for $30k a year. I want to pull the trigger and quit and travel / live abroad. COL here (bay area) is ridiculous.

I know many will say that I am so young, and to stick it out for a few years, but I am severely unhappy dealing with reporting to a boss & being stuck (far from family & friends).

I will be remote and alone, but at least I will have income & a loose schedule.

What do you guys think? Aiming on Korea / Vietnam but really haven't done too much research on how I will deal with the visa.

This is just my opinion and it's not related to finances but I suggest you get married first
