I bet you will come to cherish that extra 951.10.

Congrats, and let me chime in that it is the best move you can make too. You only live once, it will be great regardless of how it turns out, all those things are true.

So congratulations are in order! First off, kudos on the willpower to save $15k. That's no small feat. And secondly, remember this, for every low point there is an equal and opposite high point.

You are a complete idiot. You left a perfectly good job for the dream of a lifetime. Relish that every day from now on will be amazing. And possibly just a tad horrible.

You've already done the hardest part. Even if it doesn't work out, you've stepped up for what you believe in. Lots of people reading this wish they had the courage to do what you're doing.

Best of a luck, a stranger
