I'm still pretty young and luckily enough life has gone as planned. But I'd say my parents deciding to move across the country when I was a teen was a gamble that paid off. Their jobs in the midwest weren't very fulfilling or lucrative and we are just very middle class. The economy there was going down the toilet too. Ever since the move they've done much better professionally and have been able to afford things we could only dream about in the past. They've been able to set me up for success as a result.

I've definitely learned that it's good to embrace change and be open to whatever comes next in life. You never know which direction life will take you. The new people you meet, places you live, where you work, etc. are all part of the ride. It's definitely more "comfortable" to stick with what you know but at least when you're young be open to new experiences.
