International airfare can get as low as $400 round trip. I just checked kiwi.com (an awesome site for frugal travelers), and found a one way ticket from New York to London for $211 - travel does not have to be expensive, if you know where to look.
Sign up for a credit card - free airline miles and free loan that you never have to pay back after you flee the country.
Granted no/low credit score likely means little to no sign up bonus, but still. I remember my first credit card had a 3k limit and that was at a time in my life that I wouldn't have trusted myself with $300 let alone $3,000
