Just follow the flowchart and otherwise live your life how you would most enjoy it instead of overthinking it

This comment honestly means a lot. Where I'm at in life isn't making me happy, and I really want to move but throwing away 2k in rent every month is holding me back which is what has ultimately lead me to question and learn about my finances. I rented for a year after college, which is normal and most people do it for years and years, so maybe I should consider that again instead of stressing, and instead hold off on making any big decisions...

Dude, you are absolutely crushing it right now. You're doing better financially than most of my friends who are in their 30s. You have the drive and knowledge to do well financially in life, you don't need to stress the details as much.

Do what makes you happy first and foremost, you only have one life to live, so make it count. If you think buying a condo where you live right now will make you happy, and you're financially comfortable with it, do it! Sure, you could lose your job tomorrow and need to figure things out. But you could also be hit by a bus tomorrow and not be here anymore. Live your life and spend your money on things that make you fulfilled (within reason of course, but I don't think you need to worry about that given your current financial literacy).
