You could go to South America and travel that part of the continent just working as a waiter or teaching English. In Tenerife, a native English speaker charges 15€/h/people, groups of at least 5 people, just for conversation in English (my mother is paying that)
You don't like your job, go away from it... You may regret later that you haven't done it now: when you have a girlfriend you'll never want to move again unless she wants to do it too.

I'm so bad with finances I don't dare travel, or leave this job, because while it's shit, at least I'm still guaranteed pay at the end of each month.

So I won't say much more on the matter, but you're just 22, aren't you? What can you lose? A crap job? There'd be better ones in a year's time, and you'll have the best experience in your life.
Offer yourself as an aupair in Europe if you are scared of not getting enough money to find a place to sleep. When you come back, you won't be worse than now. It might take you a couple of weeks to find a job, you might have to do telesales for a while until you find something better, and? Is that worse than staying in a work that you don't like and lose the opportunity to spend a year travelling?

I think it's a problem I've had in ages, I've never really had the chance to settle properly, not since I was a child. I lived in the same place until I was 16, but was in 7 different schools during that time, for different reasons. After leaving any of them, I had very little contact with any friends I ever had there.
Now it's my choice, and it seems I've chosen to set up a base for myself. Maybe that's why?

I'm sure that whatever makes you feel good is the best. I'm completely different and need to move all the time. I'm so excited about changing Manchester for somewhere else :)
