You must be really wealthy ....
Hardly!
I’m not hurting, but I’m not wealthy by any means!
I just figured, if this country keeps going the way it is, I should start looking for somewhere else to settle.

OK, let me tell you my personal experience. When I was much younger, I applied to and was approved to get Australian residency. I lived and worked there for 5 years before coming back to the USA.
It was then called the SKILLED LABOR Migration program and is still in existence today. At that time, high tech jobs were in demand. Today, I hear that skilled technicians, especially for the mining industry is in high demand.
Australia (unlike the USA) has a more reasonable immigration policy where SKILLED LABOR and Wealthy individuals (those with the potential to create jobs and who won’t be a burden to their system ) are welcome.
When you apply for migration, you are SCORED based on a POINTS SYSTEM. Unfortunately, the older you are (and if you cannot show that you have the financial means to take care of yourself ), your points are most likely going to be low and your chances of being accepted, also low.
That’s just my experience.
