If Oswald Was The Assassin, Did He Plan His Escape From The TSBD Very Well?

If Oswald chickened out of the assassination, he still had some money to last the week, why is that a problem?

If he chickened out he could have just got a ride back to Irving with Buell. Take the rifle back to the garage and get some money then.

I said eventually, which is ambiguous with regard to how much time might elapse before he is captured or killed. In the meanwhile LHO, if he managed to escape the immediate area, would need cash to get around, eat, etc.. The encounter with JD Tippit helped to hasten the apprehension. And he had already paid for the bus fare and cab ride. So he must have actually kept a little more than thirteen bucks.

According to Frazier, Oswald said he wasn't going back on Friday which makes sense because he said he had curtain rods which needed to go somewhere, Marina had given him the cold shoulder and I don't think Ruth was very happy that Oswald just turned up unannounced on Thursday.
Mr. BALL - Was there some reason why you didn't?
Mr. FRAZIER - Yes, sir; I did. Because like I told you, he was going home to get the curtain rods and I asked him at the time, the same time, it would be about that, would he be going home with me Friday afternoon like he had been doing, he said no.

I don’t think it would be impossible for him to have said to Buell, "hey buddy, I forgot the curtains.....need to go back to Irving to get them".
For a potential assassin, you think he would be scared of Ruth? Perhaps if she had been guarding JFK instead of the SS things might have been different.
