Thanks for the info. I would rather live in Europe/Eastern Europe than anywhere else. But leaving the country's not practical for me. I'm in my mid 70's, single and own a home here. I have no family in Europe if I would need help when I was living there. If I was younger and had someone to go with, I'd go in a heartbeat just to experience living there. If the MAGAs mess with our social security and he causes the stock market to bottom out, it won't matter where I live. That's what I'll be dependent on living on. Can't imagine the horrible feeling that minorities must feel about him becoming president again and what could happen to their lives. I took this country for granted. We had our ups and downs since WWII, but I always thought our country would be the same as when I grew up. Dictators and fascists were what some other countries have had to deal with - not us. Until Trump. But the seeds were planted back in the 70's and we were just too naive or busy to pay attention. This is why I have an issue with some of the prominent Republicans now that are screaming about him. Nicolle Wallace, Michael Steele etc. Not that I don't think their concern is genuine, but for years they pushed these GOP candidates down our throats. Sorry, they're complicit in this also. It wasn't too long ago that Wallace was McCain's campaign manager and Steele was chairman of the RNC.
I am seeing immigrants getting support just like we do. A home is money to start off. There are expat groups everywhere who can help you out and with the ropes. You might find friends who feel the same way. Other countries have reasonable fees for health care and insurance that people in the US are not used to. Paying 215 Euros a month or less for health insurance plus long term care insurance is not unreasonable. So, it might just cheer you up to look into these costs.
