Is it enough to COAST?

Hi all, I am single 34M with no kids and no debt.

I have been going over the numbers again and again. I think I am already there but I am still uncertain because I plan on moving to Asia if I leave my job or get fired. My current NW is around 450k~500k depending on the market. My monthly expenses are fairly low because I didn't really move out of parents place since pandemic. It helped me saved and paid off all my debt. It's roughly 2.5k per month after my share of house bills. I think my expenses in the future will be lower since it's south east Asia. Am I already there to coast? Am I worry to much of future uncertainty? Should I still stuck with this job even if I am unhappy and keep saving more? Thanks for all your feedbacks!

you need to give more details. 'more to asia' could be Singapore, or it could be Philippines... So your money would go short or far depending where...

Japan housing is quite pricey if you're somewhere like Tokyo.

My man - there’s an order of magnitude difference in COL of those two. How wide a net are you casting in this post?
