Feeling lost, cant make a decision without second guessing myself

Hello everyone,

I am really struggling with some things and could use some perspective and advice from others who have been in similar situations.

I have planned to move from my rural small town this summer to enroll in a masters program. Now that it is getting closer to the move date, I have a pit in my stomach about moving. I feel like I'm leaving everything behind. My mom and stepdad live near me. I own a small home I purchased in 2021, and my mortgage is only $625 a month. I feel stagnant here but also know that I can get by with the lower cost of living. The flip side of that is my income range is limited to 35k-50k/yr at most.

I lost a well paying job last fall. I declined an opportunity for a full time job because of my plans to move. Currently I am in a seasonal job and I have absolutely no idea what I will do for work if I stay. I don't have a job lined up in the new town either.

With the state of the world currently, I am worried that I'm making a huge mistake and I'm going to weigh myself down with debt and stress by making this move. I would like to think a grad degree and new town will pay off, but I have some serious doubt creeping in.

Any advice from people that have gone through a similar decision is appreciated.
