I couldn't give a rat's ass about relocation costs, or furniture, or even home ownership tbh. Those are all relatively minimal costs.

But if you have a nice life, a nice social circle of friends, ...etc, do not take all that for granted. You won't magically get all that back once you move. You probably never will to be honest. You will meet other people but building a social life from scratch in a new country is hard and you will end up with a lot of shallow relationships, or maybe nothing at all.

But it really depends on your personal situation. If you are a 20 year old nerd with barely any social life to begin with, go ahead. It might even improve your life.

I'm a 39 years old nerd and I really have very little to hold me up here. Who says that building a social life is easy? I did that before too when I moved to the capital from my hometown at the age of 26, I barely knew anybody. I did that twice after that for shorter periods of time, totally works. Follow your interests and pals/friends will come.
