Let go of the mentality that only by emigrating can one realize one's dreams. Emigrating is just one of the many, many ways that one can undertake to make your dreams come true. To make dreams come true, there is only one way: build wealth and there are many ways to build wealth, emigrating is but one way, at the end of the day, you must have something of value. If your purpose is to work a job.. then find the highest paying one, if you have what it takes to make it in the business world, then go where the taxes are lowest and without universal taxes. To think that one's problems will be resolved by emigrating is too simplistic. Case in point: I have a few friends who are rich enough to own houses in a few places around the world, they do not care for emigrating, they are always on work visas and social Long-term visa passes, staying few weeks to months at a country to tend to their business, seldom back in SG. Another case, as you can imagine is boss SAM, he has his business, generates revenue, logically, the only thing that matters is how easily his money can be moved legally and where taxes are as low as possible, it really doesn't matter where he is phyiscally domiciled. Is being in SG a huge part of why you aren't as successful as you would have liked and your brilliance unable to shine through?
There will always be people who live in landed houses, expensive apartments, drive nice cars and have annual holidays, that tells nothing. If you're doing the same thing, just in a different country, you can't really say your life has changed for the better, getting up at 7am and go work from 9am-5pm in SG, MY, AU, NZ, US or anywhere else, to a certain extent, a change of environment is good, but at the end of the day, it is your nett worth that you want to build up. The FTs who come to SG are doing just that, building up nett worth....
