Going abroad was something that I had only entertained more as a vacation than for finding job opportunities. I knew full well that I already had something decent going on in my life despite the below-average wages I was earning doing my job, so why bother uprooting and risking everything I had for a chance at a much higher-paying job elsewhere? I mean, I'll take the opportunity if it came to me, but I wouldn't bother chasing it around and risk becoming much more destitute than I already was. Besides, the costs of living would just scale up if I ever decided to live in a richer country.
Or maybe I was just afraid of change... Who knows?
