New Year, New Life

So, I'm about 85% sure, as of writing this, that I am leaving my job, effective December 31st, 2011. I work retail, and while I have love for the vast majority of my co-workers, the company itself is in decline. Management just gets worse, and worse. Somehow the "big wigs" don't get it. It's fine, they don't listen to nobodies like us anyway, right?
So, my initial plan may be this, with obvious planning, and thinking going into it. 12/31 I work my last day (this is, of course, unless i happen upon a great opportunity. I rarely ever say anything is definite, as life never is)
I will do whatever I must for the month of January, until I can get my taxes done. Then, when I get my return, I shall leave.
What that will entail, I have no idea. I just want to find my place in life. Somewhere I can actually call home. Whether that be a forest, tramping around for years. Or, hell, if I can be gone for a month, find a nice little place with amazing people, and live there, I'm all for that as well. But, my life here must come to an end. My work, the people around me are too toxic for me to keep drowning myself with.
The idea scares the hell out of me. To not have the safety net I always do with a warm home, and a steady, if not barely worth while paycheck. But, at the same time, my life is going nowhere with those factors. I need new scenery, new people, I need a right of passage. Not an iPhone.
