(364 posts)As for my husband and me, we won't likely leave. It's a great idea to have a plan B if possible. We probably have enough money, but it's difficult to find a country that will take us older folks whose ancestors have been in the US for about 200 years. We don't have grandparents or close family members anywhere out of the US. In addition, as my brother put it, "we shouldn't have to leave our own country."
I have thought we might go to Mexico--there are safe places to live and it's cheaper than the US. We are within a few hundred miles north of the border. If we become desperate that is an option I think. I wonder too if the Trump regime will allow us to leave. So hard to predict.
I hope there is a way to help those who want to leave but don't have enough money. Aside from money worries, there's also the issue of health concerns that will make it very difficult for people to leave.
In the meantime, we have to do everything in our power to stop Trump and his regime. Take each day as it comes.
