If America locks down again, and there's a good chance they do, book a plane ticket and leave the country.

ASAP

Being locked inside during winter, in a negative mindset country with civil unrest is a recipe for disaster.

In Central America, you can rent a nice apartment, in a safe neighborhood, with good Internet for under $500.

And prices are way lower if you're in a smaller city.

Even if you have very little in savings, you could easily do something to pay rent (or just get a 0% interest for the first 18 months credit card) and cover the bills.

Even with going out to eat, or dating, you can still keep your expenses under $1,000 per month.

That's a low bar to clear. Basic affiliate marketing, selling eBooks, freelance writing, etc.. are all capable of covering costs.

You also get warm weather, friendly women, and an overall fun atmosphere.

A nice little break from everyone else's house arrest, and it'll make you question whether or not going back to The Air-Conditioned Nightmare is worth it.

If nothing else, you learn self-reliance and have fun while everyone back home drinks themselves into a stupor and argues about face masks / Joe Biden / whatever new controversy will surely emerge.

In conclusion, freedom is priceless and you'll never truly understand this until you experience it.

If a second lockdown does happen, use it as an opportunity to shake things up and try something new.

Given the alternative, there's really no risk.
