traveling to Asia is like 300 bucks, and hostels are $4 a day. food is a dollar a dish, and you can hang out in parks at the beach or at home and watch movies all day.
living abroad is much cheaper than what you’re paying now.
you said you save most of your paycheck.
If you have a few thousand saved, you can easily live abroad for a year and figure out something you like to do more than a job that sucks around a bunch of people that you don’t like in a situation that’s making you depressed.

Or if OP is concerned about being too frivolous with money and is under 40 (more ideally under 30) with a college degree, it’s really damn easy to get a job teaching English in Japan. These days most of those positions pay peanuts but it’s enough to live on and you generally have enough free time to go around and see some things in a new place.

China and Saudi Arabia still pay 3 to 6K US a month, and it’s even easier to get a teaching job in those countries than japan.
I agree, he should get out there.
