Yup. Each night before I go to bed I say, ‘’Lord, you can take me now, I’m ready’’. I don’t want to be here when America collapses. In a way I’m glad I never had children of my own. It would kill me to see the world their going to inherit. It do have a step-son and his children, my grandsons, are oblivious to what the future is. My daughter-in-law is from Canada. She warned us about socialized medicine. She loves it here and although she doesn’t like to discuss politics I think she’s beginning to realize and see the signs around her that a collapse is coming and it worries her.
I understand your feelings. But I’m not ready to go. In some ways I feel like being older gives me an advantage in that should the SHTF I have fewer years of life to lose. Perhaps it will give me the freedom to take some of the “looters” with me if necessary.
My daughter is a survivor. She has lived and traveled outside the US extensively. On the cheap.
Her attitude is that if it gets ugly enough here, she’s leaving. She fell in love with Uruguay, she said had she not had a good job here, she might have stayed and had us bring her dogs to her.
If I was younger, had decent hearing and the ability to learn another language, I would give some consideration to that notion myself.
