Food for thought:

(1) fuck Google, yay Firefox

(2) okay so is living with your family severely negatively impacting your mental health (note: I knew it was living with my parents that was the problem, even though it was free)? It did mine so I'm moved out even though it wasn't the fiscally smart decision and that was the right move. Roommate was shit, but it was still better than living with my parents. How is it affecting dating, finances, mental health, etc.

(3) moving to Austin locks you into a remote job or a job in Austin. Right now you have the ability to job search anywhere on the planet. The moment you move to Austin, you're locked there for the lease term at the very least. Are you okay with that?

(4) Saving money even if for no particular thing is great. I saved a fuckton while I was living with my parents and my shitty roommate and it's allowed me a lot of liberties now that I've moved to Atlanta. You might feel like you're not saving for anything, but those savings are a freedom. Moving is expensive. Opening and operating a boardgame cafe is probably expensive. If these are your goals, how will dropping all that savings affect these goals?

It's a tough decision and one only you can answer. Good luck.
