So... Time to sell my house and bug out? [View all]

It would probably take longer than a month or two to even get it done

But the house is my only capital... Got no cash on hand.
Is it better to be mobile in times like this, or hunker down in my rural area and hope for the best?

Not many options for me right now 😒😞
