25, stuck and lost – buy a house or upskill/change career? No idea what I want long-term

r/

Hey everyone,
I’m 25 and feel completely stuck. I’m currently working as a forklift driver in the UK, earning decent money, and l’ve managed to save up a bit. On paper things seem alright-but mentally, I’m not where I want to be. I don’t even know where that is.
Lately, l’ve been torn between two options: • Buy a house and “settle” a bit financially (even though I’m not sure I want to stay where I live now) • Use my savings to upskill – either get trained on more plant machinery (360s, cranes, etc.) or look into qualifications for a different kind of job entirely.
Deep down, I know I want more out of life. Not just more money, but better experiences, more freedom, purpose.
I’ve even thought about working abroad someday-but again, I have no idea where to start. I don’t have a plan. I just feel like I’m floating.
Part of me feels like I’m wasting time in a job that won’t take me where I want to be. But then again, I don’t even know what “where I want to be” looks like. It’s like I’m standing at a crossroads but all the signs are blank.
I’ve thought about therapy, but I don’t think it would really help with this kind of directionless feeling. I don’t feel depressed-just lost.
Has anyone been through something like this? What helped you figure out what direction to take? Should I invest in skills, take the “safe” house route, or shake things up completely?
I’d appreciate any advice-big or small.
