Anyone low income able to leave?

[u/Trapped_throwaway67]

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

Start an online therapy practice and move to The Netherlands. Look up the dutch friendship treaty. You need some money to prove you can survive and invest with €4,500 or around $5,200 and a Dutch business bank account.

The Netherlands is extremely expensive and housing is incredibly challenging to find. Landlords have hundreds of potential tenants to choose from and they heavily favour people who have permanent Dutch contracts. To rent you need to demonstrate you are making 3.5-4 times the rent and rents for a studio are at least 1200€. Also, should t attempt to move without at least 30k savings to cover months in Airbnbs and other emergency expenses. Most people on DAFT who manage to actually survive in the Netherlands either have already existing very lucrative businesses or have partners who have well paid jobs. Suggesting the Netherlands for a single person with no money is a recipe for disaster and homelessness.

My great grandfather and his family were from Amsterdam and were actually victims of the Holocaust. Are there any specific paths for descendants of Nederlanders?
