It was years later that I realised that many of these excuses were a cover for fear of failure and not succeeding. Some were due to pride but many were the fear of failing their family. I guess we were conditioned to be non-risk takers.
About 6 mths ago, met a guy who had applied for Canadian visa but very cautious. Finally moved in Nov and within a month has got a job in Montreal on the same grade that he was in prior to his mover. He is so delighted.
Sometime I wonder if comments from those who did it makes a lot of difference.

When I left Singapore I encouraged my collegues who owned million dollar properties to cash out and follow suit.
The two standard excuses were
1. Parents too old.
2. Kids too young.
20 years have passed. The parents are dead and the kids have carved out their own careers in distant lands. They live a lonely existence burdened by ever increasing costs. Many can't afford cars anymore.
They are now stuck in sinkieland because they are too old. No country wants old farts.
All I can say is "I told you so".
