      10 years. It was a lot of paperwork. Got a job in new country, built a new life.

      There are a lot of valid excuses why one cannot emmigrate, but “I’m not filthy rich” is not one of them. Some people use that theory to assuage the cognitive dissonance. In other words: emigrating is a fuck load of work, and it’s easier for many to simply lie to themselves that they need to be filthy rich.
