Yes. I moved out a little over two years ago at 38. Right after the first lockdown mostly relaxed.

About savings, I wouldn't say that it was too much. But what ever it is, has kept me housed and fed for the last couple of years and i expect it will continue to do so for another 2 years at the least.

I moved to beyond the outskirts of my city to live in a relatively quiet and very picturesque neighbourhood. The rent is a wee bit steep, but nothing like what I'd pay in the city.

I'm dealing with mental health issues as well and haven't worked in 4 years. Am currently undergoing therapy and starting medication for my ADHD in the hope that i can return to some work soon.

There is no how to do this. You do it as quickly as possible. Like ripping off a bandaid. If you slow it down, you will always leave time for the guilt to engulf you that society imposes on you for as much as thinking of leaving family.

We all know this quote, "blood is thicker than water". But the full version of it is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". Do with it what you will.
