Seems like the problem is in your attachment to your flat. Fixer-upper houses in the countryside are basically cheaper than a year's one-bedroom rent in the Bay Area. It's all a question of trade-offs. Would you rather

a) have a soul-crushing job and a nice flat or b) live happily, but in the Mid-West?

That is possible if you have 0 responsabilities, or just dont care

Those are ramifications one should consider when deciding to do either of those things. Having done one of those, I wish I had done the other. No one can make you happy but you, so the best predictor of happiness is having the independence to pursue your own interests.

Those aren't the only two choices.

If I had to decide for just me that would be an easier decision.
