Default OT: Goggles needs life help, part deuce.

Well, in my first life help thread, you all told me to stay in school and finish. You fed me all this BS about getting a degree and yadda yadda yadda. I friggin quit and made a bunch of money. Yes, yes, I value all of your advice, and hope a lot of the people I respect/like on this forum decide to chime in to help out with part deuce of "HELP IWEARGOGGLES LIVE LIFE"

So here is my situation:

I'm 21, making money, living in Pittsburgh, PA. I want to move out, but I don't know where...or how...or with who. I feel like I have a crazy opportunity to make tons of money, but I barely play poker while in Pittsburgh. I sit around and play videogames/watch movies/maybe an hour of poker. It isn't healthy. My goal for 2007 is 500k. Will I do that living here? I doubt it.

So is it that easy to just leave? I live with 2 college kids in a semi-decent little apartment. I'm binded with the lease until August or whatever, but I think I could easily find someone to move in with these 2 studs should I decide to leave.

But yes, I do have friends and family. My grandmother is 76 years old and lives alone. I help out with taking care of her. My sister had a baby in July and he is flat-out precious. My mother also hates the thought of me leaving for even 2 weeks, but I guess they could all deal with it. I mean, I was taking my uncle to the airport today, and he was in the same situation. Struggling in Pittsburgh, wanted to leave, everyone got upset, he ended up happier. He obviously told me to get the hell out of Pittsburgh. I do have the money to move. That isn't a factor. I will be traveling a bunch in 2007 also, although I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

Basically, I want to move, but no idea where, with who, or how +EV it would be. I hope STTF is capable of allowing me to see all angles of such a big decision. Contrary to the previous life advice thread, I have NOT made any sort of solid decision, and I'm not really leaning to either side.

HELP ME!!!!

Lovingly yours,

IWEARGOGGLES

EDIT: I would be attempting to live with another poker player who is able to play >1 hour a day.
