Move to a lower-cost city to gain financial breathing room

Short-term — weeks to months
Context

Almost 65% of my income goes to fixed costs here. The same life elsewhere would cost 40% less. I have a real social foundation — close friendships, community, routines — that took years to build and would be hard to replicate.

Goal

Work out whether the financial reset is worth the personal one, and whether I'm making a rational trade-off or just tired and looking for relief.
