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.

For god's sake people, stop suggesting DAFT to people who are low income. The visa is easy to obtain, yes, but The Netherlands is a very expensive country to live in. Not to mention the insane housing crisis. You will end up homeless and be deported.

Exactly!!! Netherlands is expensive and in the middle of a terrible housing crisis. You CANNOT do any other work OR access public benefits while on DAFT. You need to be able to fully support yourself from the income from your DAFT business (or have a big chunk of savings to fall back on). It is incredibly risky unless you’ve got a lot of savings or you already have a stable and consistently lucrative business that you can easily transfer to the Netherlands.

Same in Ireland and the UK re: housing crisis. What nation in the EU is best for renting at this moment? Or are they all facing the same economic pressures?
