I don't entirely disagree, but the first thing that this article brought to mind is the old cliche "wherever you go, there you are". I'm 34, lots of ex girlfriends and lots of past cities. There's a fine line between breaking out of the status quo hamster wheel and running away from your baggage.

Moving cities, or relationships, or jobs isn't worth as much if you aren't simultaneously working on yourself

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY!!!

Blowing up your life is exactly that, a big frikin mistake.

I've made several decisions that later revealed themselves as life blowing. It's not worth it.

In youth it's easy to imagine that you have infinite tries to get it right. This is totally wrong. Decisions that set your life back years can only be overcome so many times, and never completely.

So, instead of blowing it up, add it up slowly year by year, increasing your traction and equity....

See my previous comment where I talked about blowing up my life.

I was in the perfect place to do it at 48. I had no dependents, a stable marriage and a wife who was excited to go along for the ride with me and I had built up assets to take chances. Now that I think about it, it really wasn’t that risky. Remote was a thing and I figured worse case, someone would hire me as a consultant.

Blowing up your life in the sense of the article would have involved leaving your wife. I imagine that or similar extreme changes is what the parent meant.

A lot of people in this thread think selling all their furniture is a life explosion.
