How does having your money in a foreign bank help?
I mean... how do you plan on spending the money if shit hits the fan, and the US just shut off all the border, turn off all the internet, go full isolationist? How do you access the money?
Might want some physical gold. (Not a financial expert, just my 2 cents as an internet nerd.)
I think the plan is to move to the outside country before things reach "close the borders" level. And having a nest egg there ahead of time
I mean... good luck getting a visa. Most places you would want to go to (like the EU) has very strict immigration requirements. If borders are still open, its likely the US is still recognized as a democracy, so yoir chances of getting political asylum as close to zero.
And when the US is recognized as dictatorship, i'd probably be too late to leave.
(Unless you somehow plan your exit right before the borders close to some country that doesn't deport you back to the US before the US close its borders, and then you'd have to convince the country's government that you really deserve political asylum.)
We have the world's largest impossible to protect border. As long as you can survive camping for a week, you're in Canada.
