Sir - that's why I am planning as much as possible, for as many eventualities as possible. At this time, money is not my biggest worry. What a post Covid world will look like is. Is the USA going to devolve into chaos? Will borders re-open? Will a vaccine be effective and will it be distributed equitably? What will less prosperous countries look like? And will there be a massive economic fallout that will make travel even more dangerous than it may be pre-covid....These are worth considering.
Money is not my biggest worry.
Part of considering finances....How much does your standard of living cost per month....I'm leaving....no rent/bills/phone/internet/house taxes/ etc...
Obviously there are fixed travel costs....but no stationary home costs that I'm paying for. I'm not keeping a place to return to that I have to pay for.
Health insurance is a BIG question. I have read hours of posts from others on this forum and on other forums...It will be VERY expensive for full health coverage and some have suggested that instead, keep 20K for medical - and don't get insurance. If something happens, there's enough there to pay most everything....(not in the US) but I'll not be long in the US and can get fairly cheap coverage as a Canadian.
Thank for the post....
