[Serious]How much do i need to save to run away? And where could I go? How can I quit the rat race?

I'm not in any kind of trouble, minimal student debt (less than $5000), I have a car payment but I can sell for more than I owe. Not seeing anyone but i'm an average looking individual who I'm sure could find someone if I really tried. So what's the problem? Well I'm done.

I want to see the world I want to meet new people I want to give

I DON'T WANT

  • to wake up just to go to work.
  • to rent a place that I don't get to be in for most of the day.
  • to have to deal with clients, or staff, or bull shit.
  • bills to be something that causes me stress.
  • to have boxes to store items that i don't need.

I don't want stuff.

I dedicated my life so far to chasing the ability to get stuff.

Sure I'm lucky that im not in severe debt or sick and have food on my table, but I hate that table.

Today it clicked. I hate all my stuff.

I HATE

  • My tv
  • My car
  • My computer
  • My clothes
  • My decorations

It's stuff, fucking stuff. All of it means nothing. I have NOTHING.

So someone tell me, how much do I need? How much do I need to save? What can I do?

Some details: Changing nothing but not spending my extras on frivolous shit, chasing women, bars etc I can save $800 a month. I have prior obligations like car, insurance, rent etc that I could not stop paying. Except for rent I could prob reduce some spending but lets assume the $800. Currently Zero saving because I spend it eating out, drinking and wasting it to subdue the boredom.

So tell me Reddit? How much do I need? What can I plan. Tell me there is something I can do.

I see people travel spending little to no money but what about after the year they traveled? Back to a job to save and do it again?

I've heard people say they just knew one day that they knew what they wanted to do. Today was that clarity. I can see it, I just don't know how or if its even realistic.
