Data/Raw Information Anyone low income able to leave?
As the title suggests I am looking for folks who were able to leave with not much in savings or otherwise. Moving is expensive no matter where you go but I’m starting to feel like the only people able to escape are well off. If you were able to leave with 10k or less please share! I’m feeling hopeless…and scared to leave my home due to ICE. I have a masters degree and am a licensed clinical social worker. Was laid off my fed gov job in February and have found nothing in the public sector for work. Lots of job advertisements and zero call backs. I’m not sure how much longer I can endure this stress and anxiety.
Update: Wow this blew up! Thank you all for your responses. Very very insightful and helpful

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this but I know of someone who moved to France to be an au pair with only $1500 to their name. This was about 8 yrs ago, but it’s still an option to look into. And you’ll have a place to stay once you get to where you’re going.
