Countries, $100k Savings: Where should I live?

1•Slaboli•1h ago
Dear All,

This may sound weird, and sorry for asking it. I have immense indecision due to childhood trauma and cannot decide on something. I'm 36, M, single, living with my parents in Turkey. I work 100% remotely with a shitty-paying, not-so-demanding job. I'm Turkish and also have Portuguese and Albanian residency. I have dependency issues with my parents which I need to eventually break, but a part of me doesn't want to. I'm emotionally immature due to severe childhood trauma, but I try to function at my best in life.

So the dilemma is: where to live? All options work for me actually, so for me the decision ain't loud and clear. My choices are buying (or renting) an apartment for myself either in my home city or any other city (I already have an apartment in my home city that is rented out, paying me around 500 EUR). Or, moving to Portugal to keep my residency active and working the 1300 EUR-paying job from there, where I can either rent or buy property (if I sell my apartment in Turkey). Or, moving to Albania with this job, renting or buying an apartment there.

I have about 100k USD in savings besides my salary and rent income. I hope to marry, have my own family, and become stable in all aspects (as much as possible).

With all choices, I like a part of them, but none is dominant enough to become the clear choice. Which options would you consider, and why? Please help me choose and provide your reasoning.

THANK YOU ALL!

Portugal as a country feels nice. Someone I know was in Portugal for sometime and then he got into their national water polo team so they are definitely a welcoming bunch. Also I met a couple from Portugal on train in India and they felt very sweet ppl to talk to

Portugal. I moved to LATAM but I wouldn't recommend it without knowing spanish or having a connection here first.
