Should I go or should I stay?
I'm a 20 year old female and I still live with my parents. I work full time and am not currently in school. I decided a few months ago after breaking up with my boyfriend of 2 years that I wanted to get away and experience something new. I was planning on moving out of state to live with my aunt for a year as soon as I got a new car (which I did a few weeks ago). Now I'm freaking out and I'm nervous because I know no one or nothing about that area or that I won't be able to find a job, or that ill end up wanting to go back home after a month of being away from my family and friends or that I just won't like it.
Someone please tell me how to make this decision.

You should stay with your parents until you have enough money saved up to provide for you day-to-day needs for four months. That way you will have time to look for a job when you move in with your aunt. Alternatively, you could begin looking online for jobs in her area and move there once you have found one.
The money should really be your only concern. You are a 20 year old woman. You are not a child. You will be fine on your own.
Sure, you might miss your family and decide to move back, but there is no shame in that. Most young adults move out and then move back in with their parents a couple of times before becoming independent for good. This is completely normal.
One thing I do suggest is that when you do move, bring a little piece of home with you. Maybe a favourite stuffed animal from your childhood? Something to soothe your worried feelings.
