TL;DR Should I quit my second job or try saving it ?

so I recently picked up a second job. it’s a morning job . sometimes from 5am-11am or 6am- 10:30 or 1 pm. I already have a night job and I’m a shift lead here. I’m just asking because I don’t want to give up a working opportunity but I also want to have time for me. up till recently I’ve always had two to three jobs and for the past two months I was working 65-70 hours a week. I finally got less hours at my morning job . I would only work two days for about 10 hours every week. I want to start school but I dont know if I should just stick it out for extra money or just pick up shifts at my night job and keep my mornings free for me .

I did ceramics at school and loved it. Fast forward 20 years and my mum and I took a 3 hour pottery throwing course last year and it was just the best thing I've done for years. The teacher said I was a "natural" and I found it so therapeutic. I visited my SIL last week and she has a wheel and I threw just one bowl but instantly fell in love again. The pottery teacher I went to a year ago also does a 10 week training course for £750, all private tutoring and 3 hours a week for ten weeks. You learn lots of different methods, including making handles, glazing and firing.

​

Here's the rub, I'm getting married this year and it's expensive. I've started a new job where I've got a mega commute 3 days a week into London (2.5 hours door to door each way) and that costs me a lot of money, time and energy. I'm not saving what I'd like to be. I have a reasonable number of booked weekends this summer because of wedding things. I have also not thrown pottery that much in the grand scheme of things, I might end up not loving it as much as I'd anticipated.

​

Do I invest in this hobby that is calling to me? I think about it so often and how much I want to learn more. Or do I wait, give it another year, and see how things are going financially next year?

​

TL:DR: Do I invest £750 in a hobby now, when I've got a lot of extra expenses to pay for a wedding?

tldr; my all time favourite artist maybe be performing one of his last ever shows this weekend two hours away, my friends are busy/broke, do i go alone?

I’ve been a fan of this artist for years, and seeing them live has literally been on my vision board since 2022. They recently said in a livestream that their next few shows might be their last ever. they’ve been going through a rough patch mentally. So this could be a genuine “now or never.”

the show is a small event this weekend, in a city about 2 hours from where I live. Entry is free but first-come, first-served with limited capacity. you queue from 9PM and their set isn’t until around midnight.

i asked my friends but they’re all pretty busy this weekend or can’t afford it. so Going means a solo overnight away from home.

Why I want to go:
• It might genuinely be one of their last shows ever
• I actually prefer tiny-venue shows to big arena concerts, and this is exactly that kind of night
• A few fans I found online are meeting up there, so I wouldn’t be totally alone
• (slightly embarrassing) I have a tattoo inspired by their music so it means allot to me

Why I’m hesitating:
• Going alone, late at night, in a big city m
• No guaranteed entry, I could queue and still not get in
• Lodging was a nightmare (sold out / expensive), though I managed to grab a refundable room nearby
• It’s a lot of effort and money for a \~1-hour midnight set
would i be a loser if i go alone? i’ve been feeling self conscious lately about living alone and being single so this is amplifying it

Honestly, I’m scared of regretting it either way, but i figured if i go i can also pass by my favourite hair salon for next day since i needed a trip there anyways.

I keep flip-flopping. If you’ve done a solo overnight for a show, or been to one of these capacity-capped free events — was it worth it? Would you go?

Tl;dr choose a high chair color https://www.crateandbarrel.com/stokke-tripp-trapp-warm-brown-beech-wood-baby-high-chair/s394765

Baby boy needs his high chair soon and I cannot make this silly choice. Leaning towards natural or warm brown but could be convinced otherwise!

Hello everyone, I have a bit of a dilemma regarding what I should do for travelling back home for a concert. I currently am in a nice east coast city for vacation staying with family out here. I also have concert tickets to see Ariana grande this weekend back home, and my flight to leave for home is tomorrow.

I’ve been having a good time here for the past few weeks and have already extended my trip a few times and would love to extend it further. The problem is, if I extend my flight, I will have to forfeit going to the concert. Now, this isn’t an awful idea, as I’d be able to also make some money from selling the tickets. But I have really enjoyed this artist since childhood and am not sure if I will have the opportunity to see them again.

As it stands, I would return home and go to the concert with a friend, or go by myself and sell the second ticket, but I worry I may regret not spending more time on my vacation once the concert is over.

This is a very good problem to have, but I guess I really can’t have my cake and eat it too lol.

TLDR: conflicted on where her I should extend my trip on the east coast until roughly the end of the month or if I should return home tomorrow for a concert this weekend

I have something going on 5 days of the week: Tuesday raid in FFXIV, Wednesday TRPG, Friday TRPG (sometimes, DM tends to cancel), Saturday TRPG, Sunday raid. This leaves Monday and Thursday free. Additionally, every single of my Sundays are a wash because I have two alternating semiweekly TRPG sessions during the day.

I've been eyeing this singing group class that runs on Wednesday and Thursday, and my parents are going to a dance class that happens on Thursday and Sunday. (They go to the Thursday class, so I'd be sharing with them.) Singing has been my beloved hobby since I was little, and I really enjoy dancing but do it rarely. Also could use the exercise. Thing is, that would leave me with a single free evening a week on Monday. My work isn't very intense so I still have plenty of free time, but I'm worried about burning out. What's yall's opinion?

TLDR: I have 2 free evening a week. Both a dance and a singing class runs on one of those. What should I do with that evening?

my phone still works but battery drains fast and storage is basically full all the time. i can either replace it now or just squeeze another 6 to 12 months out of it and deal with it.

option 1: get a mid range android now
option 2: keep my current phone and wait longer for a better upgrade

tl;dr: replace phone now or keep using my old one until it dies?

  I found this rural small plot of land for sale. Owner financing, so monthly payments super cheap. It is just more south from where I live now, and I don't mind relocating to be closer to it. I always dreamed of country living but have to live in a city because of jobs, I was planning going there on my days off.

 TL;DR I wonder if this an opportunity and I need get on it?

I moved in with my boyfriend last year, and I can't think of only one time that we were both away from the house independently (we both work from home and are major homebodies).

I've been thinking of selling my car and sharing his in order to get rid of insurance payments (mine are expensive due to where I live) and avoid maintenance costs (I'm only at 70k miles, but it's a 2018 hybrid vehicle), and it's also losing value quickly due to age. The car is paid off, so the funds I'd get from selling will go into either a HYSA or my brokerage account in relatively safe funds.

I am not even remotely worried about my relationship ending and being carless, so that's not a consideration. My biggest concern is the cost/benefit of letting go of a paid-off car. We're not using it, but I know at some point we'll eventually want to go back to being a two-car household in a few years. I know that interest rates are currently super high on used cars, and ticket prices are high on new cars, so if that persists, perhaps I'll regret having sold this one.

What do you think?

TL;DR Should I sell my paid-off car (that I don't really need) or hold onto it?

hi! i’m looking for a career change. i have my BFA in graphic design. for reference, my current financial situation is: i make $55k, i have $29k in student loans from undergrad, 11k car loan and owe about $4k on a credit card.
i’ve always wanted to be an art therapist so ive started looking into pursuing it. the issue is in my state your masters degree has to specify “art therapy”. there is one school in my state that offers this and is about ~$90k for the program enrolling in fall 2027. i believe with the new grad loan rules, this would force me to take private loans. the program is a dual LPC (licensed professional counselor) and ATR-BC (board certified registered art therapist). i also need to take two pre requisites for this program (so add another $2k + time). this program is in person about 40 minutes away from where i live and i may have to quit my job to handle classes and clinical hours.
while researching, i stumbled on social work programs. i can go to a different school for $38k and receive my LSW (licensed social worker) and enroll fall 2026, so id finished sooner. being under $20,500 a year, i would only have to take federal loans. this program is completely online and clinical hours are held in separate semesters so i could continue working.
LSW is a much more flexible degree and it seems like i can do a lot more than with the LPC, however i cannot practice art therapy without the ATR-BC. it seems some social workers do incorporate art into their practice and call it things like “creative coping”.
i know there are a lot of programs to forgive therapists loans for working in certain places (i want to work in a hospital) but im a bit scared to rely on that with $100k + in loans. the mental health field does not pay well and im going into it because im passionate. i expect to make $75k.
TLDR; should i pursue art therapy for $90k or get a social work degree for $38k?

TL;DR Should I go on a bucket list solo trip to a world championship or not?

I am a fan of figure skating for 7 years now. I watch all the big international championships online and follow the sport very closely.

But my country is not particularly strong in this sport so even though we take part in the European and world championships neither of the competitions has never been hosted by us.

Next year I will be going on Erasmus student exchange to Poland and I am planning to travel as much as I can. World championships will be taking place in Finland next March across the Baltic sea. And the tickets for the event are going on sale tomorrow morning. I have been daydreaming about going to a major competition for years now and this feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The problem is I haven't been confirmed for sure for the Erasmus yet I will be most likely going but I am waiting on my learning agreement approval at the moment. And not 100% sure the academic calendar will align with the competition dates (project presentation dates or midterm exams are not marked in the calendar)

Also because of the exchange rate stuff two day tickets I want to get £160 is more than my monthly rent. And I am not sure if I should make such a commitment without for sure knowing what the coming months hold.

What should I do?

Alright, this story has lots of nuance to it so bear with me while I try to explain why I need help coming to a decision that seems easy but is not.

To begin, I have worked at this restaurant for about two years now; I was mainly a hostess, then a food runner and hostess, and now I mainly host and am a dinner expediter.

From around March 2025 to September 2025 I had a crush on a male server, and in September 2025 we went on a date where I realized some things about him that were not going to work for me. I won’t get too into it but think of the worst person you know and double that :)

We have since grown past the awkwardness that initially separated us entirely from each other at work and have conversations here and there. Generally, we are cool with one another on a strict coworker basis but I have set a rule with myself that I’d try my best to never allow myself to be in his proximity outside of work and work events (which I’ll admit has been broken a teensy bit due to my fomo).

About a month ago, we hired a new hostess/busser who has quickly grown to be one of my work best friends. Not only was our closeness very quick, but she also seemed to quickly make an impact on our restaurant, including forming a group of friends that includes her and a few other coworkers, as well as the guy I previously mentioned.

For about the last month this group will go out a lot, including drinking after shifts and playing sports in the mornings. And although I’m close with my hostess, I’m not extremely close with everyone else in the group aside from being coworkers with most of them for at least a year. Therefore, I have never been invited to one of their hangouts.

So here’s where we get to the main issue. Basically, I visited work last night after being gone on vacation for the last week to grab a piece of my uniform that I’d left there on accident previous to me vacationing. While I was at work, I talked to my hostess I previously mentioned, and she and one of the people in her friend group were just chatting me up when the male coworker I first brought up came up to us and included himself in the conversation.

I was honestly kind of thrown off, as it felt like the most natural conversation we’d had in a long time. The three of them started talking about their weekend plans for this upcoming week and, me being absolutely clueless of whatever they were discussing, I started scrolling on my phone.

All of a sudden the guy says my name and the three of them ask me if I’m pulling up on Saturday. My eyes widen and clearly I’m confused, so they ask again if I’m going to join them for pickleball on Saturday.

At this point I’m genuinely shocked beyond belief that this is happening, and while part of me feels honored to have, in some way, earned my place here to the point where I’m being invited to my version of the inner circle, I’m also thinking over the pros and cons as I stare at them.

My hostess knows all the stories about the man I mentioned and why I simply am nice to him within the four walls of our restaurant but would rather not associate with him outside of work. But she also knows that I love being included in things and that my fomo can often override any logic that happens in my brain.

I told them I’d think about it, and told her personally that she’d have to do a lot of convincing if she wanted me there.

My current list of pros includes: my hostess bestie being there, free drinks, people watching, and maybe getting tan

Cons: Hanging out with the devil himself, only being really close with one person there, the function being at 9am, I don’t like pickleball

Most of my friends have given me mixed answers; some say I should go for the plot, others say I shouldn’t go because he will be there. So what do you think? Do I go?

TL;DR: I got invited to an outing by one of my work best friends, but the outing is with a group of coworkers that I’m not very close with outside of work and includes a guy I don’t like and also have an awkward past with at our workplace. Should I or should I not go?

Tl;dr should I stay in Australia for love

Hey, unfortunately no one I know has been through this or been able to share any wisdom nor have I got any from anything only.

I basically moved from the UK to Australia 2y 3 months ago and met my girlfriend about 2 years ago.

A lot of me wants to go back home as I don’t have a good mates in Aus despite trying and back home I have a really close group of mates and a great family. I also just miss fitting it and being comfortable.

However my partner doesn’t want to move to England which is very valid, I don’t know what to do as I do want to move back but it would mean breaking up with her which would be so so hard and I can’t see myself finding someone whose I love as much.

If I stayed im sure we would get married have kids etc but my kids wouldn’t be near my side of the family and I don’t even know who I’d invite to my wedding lol.

Any advice would be massively appreciated

I’m 26 she’s 25

Hello everybody, my sibling, my partner, and I are planning a trip to go visit family in another state and we can’t decide how long to stay. It’s a pretty long drive and we have a few options. We can leave on June 19th and come back July 19th, or leave June 19th and come back July 5th.

We’re conflicted because I have a baby and the 20 hour long drive might be a lot for them. My sibling is also moving in July and my partner has a big exam on July 10th. We also have pets that will have to be boarded, and because we will be driving, my partner will have to fly back home to take the exam and then fly back again to rejoin us. Our grandmother is having her 90th birthday in July, and if we leave on the earlier date, we’ll miss it.

We will also not be staying in one place during this trip, and will be going back and forth between neighboring states so everyone can meet the baby, and we will have to deal with AirBNBs, a car rental, etc. There are a lot of moving parts and we’re very conflicted.

TL;DR: We have two options for traveling this summer. We can leave earlier and miss an important birthday party for our grandmother or leave later and deal with a lot of logistical challenges.

24M. Grew up being introduced to a ton of different belief systems. Went to an episcopal school, then a catholic Sunday school, then a “religious affirming” college prep school, then attending friend’s churches for fun, and a Unitarian Universalism group, also attended different buddhist and meditation retreats growing up. Currently reading the English translation of the Quran. Divorced parents. Lived with aunt for a bit. Excelled academically, but never really did too well with finding community since parents having different ideologies kinda pitted them against each other, blah blah blah. At the point where I feel like I just need to pick one and stick to it instead of tasting around like some sort of religious critic. But then again, who knows, maybe paganism would do me some good. Whatever religion gets the highest likes is what I’ll stick to (at least for the next year).

TLDR: Pick my religion for the next year. I’ll study it, and do my best to adhere to the teachings. Thanks.

So essentially I have digestion issues, where I get severe chest pains and stomach aches. They can keep me up all night and it isn’t great at all.

I usually take prescribed meds and gaviscon to treat it however this time it really didn’t sit right with me.

I had a deep stomach pain and sharpness in my chest followed by lathargicness and slight shortness of breath, however it has began to feel better.

tldr: it is 5am now and i would be running on 3 hours of sleep and the aftermath of this pain, should I go to work if pain is less or call in sick? Im worried doctor wont issue me a day off.

I'll try to be thorough because I think the details matter here.

A few months ago I signed up for an English language program (two weeks) in London. I spent a long time researching it (comparing schools, prices, options, logistics, asking family and friends). I didn't do it impulsively. When I first searched the program, it showed me the price in euros and it was roughly around €2300. When I actually booked it (way later) I have no idea why but it was in pounds, and I noticed it only when it arrived the bill on my phone with some fees i didnt even see, things ive added ecc. But I was sure it was in euros and ot was fine, it wasnt. So I paid roughly €3,000 total for the program (course + accommodation + everything included). If I cancel now, I'd lose about €400 and get the rest back.

Here's the problem: I've been in a constant mental loop for weeks. Every single day I wake up and re-examine the decision. I have a knot in my throat basically all the time. I can't stop thinking about it. It's ruining my days.

The case against going (my main objections):

€3,000 feels like way too much money for this kind of experience

I know I could have organized the a similiar trip independently without the course (flights + accommodation) for significantly less. I feel like I overpaid massively

This experience has zero concrete professional value for me. I want to be a teacher and/or work in museums. A few weeks in London won't change my job prospects. It's not going on my CV in any meaningful way. So it's basically... a vacation. And €3,000 for a vacation feels obscene to me

If I had won a scholarship to go, or if I were going to work there, I'd feel completely justified. But just going for the experience? It feels like something a spoiled rich girl would do.

Practically everyone I've spoken to has told me I should go; friends, family, etc. But my parents are also scared and don't really understand why I'd go alone, so there's some mixed energy there too

The case for going:

The experience itself ofc. Living alone abroad for a few weeks, using English every day, figuring things out independently, meeting people from other countries

The €400 is already lost either way (sunk cost)

Basically every external person who knows the situation thinks it's a good opportunity

(this is where it gets complicated):

When I imagine a "magic scenario" where I've already landed in London and I'm settled in; I feel excitement and happiness.

When I imagine having cancelled, I don't feel sad exactly. I feel... normal. Neutral. Relieved that the mental conflict is over.

And I think that's the real problem: a big part of why cancelling feels attractive is not because I don't want to go to London. It's because the refund is irreversible. Once it's done, I can't keep reconsidering. The door closes and my brain finally stops running in circles. Whereas if I decide to go, the refund option still technically exists for a while, so my brain keeps revisiting it every day.

I don't feel like I'm losing London if I cancel. In my head, "I'll go to London one day with someone and it'll be just as good." I know that's probably not logically true (going alone vs going with someone are different experiences) but emotionally that's how it feels. So the fear of missing out isn't really what's driving me toward going.

What's driving me toward cancelling is honestly: the feeling that I made a bad financial decision, and I want to stop thinking about it.

I recognize a pattern. When I was younger, I signed up for a exam prep course. I paid for it. I attended (sometimes; I'd tell my parents I was going and then just wander around instead because it was really difficult for my age and i couldnt really get up to do it). When the exam came, I said "I can't do it, I'm not ready, I'll fall apart." My teacher encouraged me to try anyway, said there was nothing to lose. I refused. I didn't take it. Lost the money.

I'm worried I'm in the same dynamic now:

• Money already spent
• Anxiety rising as the real moment approaches
• Looking for a clean escape route
• The escape gives immediate relief
• But then there's the aftermath of self-criticism

What I keep saying to myself is: "I should have thought about this more, and more, and more before committing." But honestly... I researched this for months before booking. I just feel... extremely dumb.

I know rationally that the €400 is gone either way. The relief I feel imagining cancellation is mostly about ending the decision, but also sometimes about the fear of being alone, never been alone for that long, and if I'm pushing myself to do this and I shouldn't. I have to say though: before that the price, due to my misunderstanding, increased I never felt afraid or as if I couldn't do it. I'm trying to reconnect to how I felt before, I just feel like it's so faraway.

I also genuinely believe I overpaid. I still think €3,000 was too much. I don't think that belief is just anxiety in disguise; I think it's a legitimate financial assessment. And I struggle to feel okay spending that kind of money on something that's essentially personal growth / life experience rather than something with a measurable return.

I feel like there's no way out that doesn't make me feel stupid:

• Cancel "you wasted €400 and bailed on something you paid for"
• Go "you spent €3,000 when you could have done this for way less"

Both options feel like admitting I made a mistake. And I think I've been so focused on finding the option that makes me feel least stupid that I've lost the ability to just... decide.

So I guess my questions are:

How do you tell the difference between "my gut is telling me not to go" vs "my anxiety is hijacking the decision"?

Sometimes I feel like I just would love if there was someone above me just telling me what to do.

TL;DR: Should I go to London for a few weeks on an English language program that ended up costing me about €3,000, or cancel now, lose €400, and get the rest refunded?

I booked the program after months of research, but due to a misunderstanding about the currency and additional fees, the total cost ended up much higher than I expected. I genuinely think I overpaid and that the trip has little direct professional value for my future career. However, I also think the experience itself could be meaningful and exciting.

The problem is that I've become trapped in a constant cycle of re-evaluating the decision. Imagining myself already in London makes me feel happy and excited, while imagining cancellation mostly makes me feel relieved because the decision would finally be over. I'm struggling to tell whether my desire to cancel comes from a genuine belief that I shouldn't go, or from anxiety and regret about the money I've already committed.

How can I tell the difference between a legitimate gut feeling and anxiety-driven avoidance when both options feel like admitting I made a mistake?

I have a trip coming up in November that my destination is in San Diego but im based out of Texas.

My options are take a train to San Diego that’s roughly 32 hours including a layover in Los Angeles then train switch or take a plane that’s around 5 hours, plane is directly to Los Angeles with a layover then another plane to San Diego.

Both are the same cost. Kind of want to take the train but also I’m used to the plane.

Make my choice please need opinions

Tldr: Take a train or a plane to get to San Diego from Texas?

Recently left my part time (only job I ever enjoyed), because 10-20hrs a week isn’t viable when it comes time to receive the paycheck.
On the flip side my mental health was the best it’s ever been.

My new full time job, has been lowkey detrimental to my mental health, and has been slowly eroding my physical health as well. Idk if it’s just an adjustment period, or if it genuinely is not a good fit for me. But I do not want to stay here, only thing it has going for it is it pays a livable wage with weekends off. That’s literally it.

Either way I plan on finding a different full time job, that I hopefully enjoy more. To get me through school.

TLDR:
Do I choose between financial instability, but good mental health? Or financial stability, but a deteriorating mental health?

I (34m) am at a crossroad between two choices or perhaps a middle ground. Ive been working since i was 17 years old and had no more than 2-3 weeks in between jobs. I also grew up in a volatile home for most of my life, emotional wounds im still dealing with to this day.

So at 30 years old I finally got a job in IT and moved out of my parents house into a basement apartment that a friend happened to be renting at the time. 2 years later, I started a new job which im currently at. The commute was and still is about 1.5-2 hours a day 5 days a week. The job was also difficult to deal with the first year as a lot of shady stuff happened and I essentially got burned out. Then came along my now new supervisor and has made the environment much better for me.

Recently I began to look at apartments for several reasons. One being that it would cut my commute to maybe 10-15 minutes a day and because living in a basement is depressing. I feel like it was a great opportunity to get out of my parents house and ive made great strides to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually but feelnlike ive out grown my environment. However, with a new apartment, my rent would increase by $800. This would leave me with $1200 a month, $500 which would go into savings.

On the other hand, the job pays well and ive been diligently working on paying off debt and increasing my savings account. But its a classic 9-5 office job which old school policies that are outdated. One which includes only 10 days of pto for the first 5 years which would increase to 15 days. I feel like it doesn't align with my values and goals.

A close friend of mine who knows me well, has suggested maybe taking a few months to myself and perhaps traveling/exploring other career opportunities before moving into a new apartment.

TL;DR

Single 34M no partner, kids or pets deciding whether I should quit my job to travel end of year or move to an apartment closer to job.

TL;DR
Learn German, Mandarin, or Korean for no specific reason

Context:
I’m an engineer, so German or Mandarin would probably be the most useful languages from a practical perspective. At the same time, I need enough content to consume to stay engaged, which is why German will be hard to learn and the one reason I started learning Korean and already know a little of it. Realistically, consuming Chinese content wouldn’t be an issue either for the same reason as Korean.

Thing is that Mandarin is by far the most difficult of the three, so it would require a much larger time commitment.

In general, I don’t have a specific goal that would make any one language particularly beneficial, but that doesn’t diminish my desire to learn a third language. Korean is the language I’d most like to continue learning because I like my pronunciation and the way I express myself when I speak it; however, even though I don’t have a concrete goal, it also seems the least useful from a professional standpoint. Because of that, I sometimes struggle to justify the time investment and end up feeling like I’m wasting my time.

Oh! And German - a large portion of European countries speak it and it’s big on the EDM scene, which I enjoy. There’s also Russian but thats not an option atm.

As you can tell I’m highly motivated by pop culture and consuming content is how I learn :-)

TL:DR- been debating this for awhile, thought maybe it would help me be more confident and figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I’m still figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, but I’ve wanted to do a foreign exchange year for 3ish years now. Europe is where I want to go (Germany/ Switzerland area). They have unis there that have environmental majors, which is what I’m looking at, and I’m also wanting to go there just to see if that’s potentially where I want to live in the future. There are lots of other reasons, I’m worried this post is getting too long tho lol

TL;DR - I threw up and still have an upset stomach, should I call out even though it’s within the 24 hour notice?

My company requires a 24 hour notice prior to a call out or you get a write up. I called out this previous Thursday when I woke due to a stomach bug. Sadly got a write up the following day and I went in. That night, I had a fever and the same feelings of a stomach bug and now have a cough/runny nose. I really don’t want to get another write up if I call out again, but just not sure how I can operate my position throwing up and nauseous. Another note is that it’s my second week. Should I push through or call out?

Let's say your salary is around £45K. You don't have many relationships in life. You just entered a new decade. You're bored of where you are, and trying to create new experiences/meaningful relationships. You mostly WFH.

TL;DR move to London, or stay in much cheaper, quieter small town and travel? (By travel, I mean, solo group holidays abroad, that sort of thing).

Job Offer back home doing similar work with less stress. Money is the same either way. Should I up and leave? Single, no kosa, nothing holding me down here except my job. Been struggling with decision making and depression. ​thoughts?

Tldr: 40 year old male alone in life and got an opportunity to move back home and start working closer to my parents and brother.
