I recently posted a similar thread about savings and income goals for travel, I'm with everyone else on this, be patient and keep the money rolling in for now. Work on location independent side gigs and do the math.
Where do you want to live and how much will it cost? What's your 'buffer zone' for savings? 6 months, 1 year? Will you be earning enough on the road to fund your lifestyle?
I've thought about this, and I'd be much more comfortable being location independent with enough money to go a year or more without having to change my lifestyle.
The other thing I'd recommend is to be the stellar employee at your current job. It's difficult if you don't like your job, but lie your ass off if you have to. Play the political game to keep the bonuses and the raises coming in. It's really not that hard to stand out even if you don't give a shit. Do what it takes to get as much cash as possible.
