You know what would be really helpful right now? Stories about similar upheavals you all have had but actually survived. All I can see at this moment is bad outcomes, along the lines of "Well, you could always live in a van by the river... except, whoops, you don't have a van."

@zebratron2084 In 2006, I broke up with my partner in Canada. All my credit cards were maxed, I had $20 in my bank account, and I was living in a country in which I could not legally work. My car was inoperable after hitting a deer a month prior. My parents were fighting over whether to completely disown me or just cut me out of their lives. My friends in Minnesota had no room for me, and I couldn't afford to get there anyway. I was homeless, penniless and stranded in a foreign country.
