I have zero commitment to my job, 20 years to my mortgage and a lifetime to my wife. That is how I prioritize.

Yeah that's what I keep coming back to. I'm single, not much holding me down. I have a good job in IT so I'm sure I could find something comparable. I am used to having family and friends close by, but during the pandemic I haven't seen them very much.
