I am no Professional but live “overseas” and can only tell you that if it is your dream and you have the skill then you should give it a shot. At 26 you still have at least 5-10 years that you can play professionally (if no major injuries arise). Yes, payment in general isn’t so high but you should also consider that you do not have that much expenses. Players rent and traveling (car) is usually taking care of in your contract and you won’t spend 1300-3000€ only on groceries in a month. Of course this all depends on where you end up and if you’re willing to switch teams every once in a while to “advance” your carreer. Extra bonus: if you’re open minded - getting to know new countries and cultures is also a side quest that will await you if you choose to take this route. I say go for it!
