Perhaps you’re still a youth, in some ways? If so, it’s a good time to take risks and explore. If money isn’t that important to you (and money seems to be what fuels climate change), you stand to gain so much more in neural connections even if you end up not enjoying the MCOL city. I’m in my 40s, became a father a few years ago, and I feel I grew up more in these past three years than between puberty and parenthood. All my travels, work, relationships, and other exploration through books and games (physical games great, but solo videogame-time is a mistake to learn from; healthier ways to meet my needs at the time, but I was more ignorant and suggestible) continues to bubble up as memories to learn from. I’m both grateful for all the resources I had access to and frustrated that more young people don’t have access to just a little bit more so they could expand their view of life on earth. I might have been better off with fewer inanimate resources and better guidance from other people (family, friends, and especially mentors). I got some guidance, but I’ve tended towards stubborn and know-it-all, and less likely to really listen. All that to say keep risking, learning and growing. Your future self and others may thank you for your efforts.
