> 26 year old male, making $25/hr no health benefits in a rural midwest town

> have low six figures saved up in cash

would it be totally stupid to just get in my car and move somewhere far away? I live in a town of about 40k right now and would be interested in moving closer to either the east or west coasts. more people living there, more jobs, higher wages. then again i don't have any degrees or real prospects or anything like that. with the job market the way it is it would be a risk, but i am in a position where if push came to shove, i wouldn't have to work for months. i am sick of living with parents, i am sick of not feeling worthy of being in a position to be in a relationship, i want to feel like my own man but a part of me feels it would be foolish to give up free rent

Move to where job is

Just do it. It may not work out, but staying in your rut is slow death.

I waited too long, but it worked out for me. I wish I had stayed gone after leaving at 19.

dude im sorry but youre insane if you have 6 figs stacked in cash only. invest most of it (save some cash) and live off the dividends and gains. if you have 200k invested you can live in SEA off the income from that alone comfortably. idk, just my 2 cents but leaving your country is never easy

I just don't get this amerimutt meme.Do you have a functional dick and an ability to love someone? There you go, you're in a perfect position to be in a relationship. What else could you possible need?

You'd be retarded not to.
I'm considering doing this at a much older age with a whopping $10k saved.

Do people really do this? What fields actually hire randos from around the country in hopes they'll find a place an move as opposed to hiring local and avoiding all that hassle?
OP's not a top engineer making $300k, they're making $25/hr not even full time.

He has plenty of money saved to last him a while. A year even. He should move to where he wants to be, then find any random job. He's at $25/hr now, he could get any mcjob and make almost the same, while in his off time looks for something better.

I should add some important context:
I currently live in a nice, but small-town oriented, sort of flyover part of the country.
Previously I've lived in trendy areas including the heart of a major city. There's no comparison to the later. Flyover country sucks. Would absolutely rather be poor and have a life than humbly save while living in an open air hillbilly prison.
