Advice please?

So my boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 1/2 years. A year ago I moved in with him and his family and I had plans to succeed but things haven’t worked out. I told my bf we should move to where I used to live since it’s cheaper and we would have better chances at getting more job opportunities since where we live now it’s more of a competitive field especially if you don’t have a college degree. I told him the end of 2021 I wanted to move back for sure. Is that enough time to save? I also feel like he keeps making excuses for example “we would just be living with ur parents like we do here”, there’s nothing out there, I don’t wanna live somewhere where I know people ( he only knows one person here and my family), we’d be struggling over there too, too soon to move, etc. I’m ready to take the next step and with it being a new year I really wanna get my career going I can’t keep wasting time. Idk what to do tbh. Advice?
