If I was you, I'd save enough to go to a cheaper country and slowly work on my idea.

In fact, I'm thinking of doing that next year. My job isn't hard by any means, but I cannot focus on my other projects while I'm working.

I'm only in my 30s, but I will say the biggest tip I can give to any young person is don't let any other person direct your life. Case in point, I knew a girl once whose mother tried to push her into an arranged marriage.

She had to estrange herself for a bit.

If you like your job, stick with it I guess.

But if you really want to move abroad, do that now. The moment you get settled down, or even get into a real relationship. This gets much harder.

And finally you're going to make a bunch of mistakes, learn to forgive yourself when you do. And stay away from people who are going to harp on your mistakes and try to pick on you.
