I can’t retire and continue my current lifestyle, I would need some sort of job. Therefore, I don’t consider myself rich.

More importantly though, I have this lifestyle due to a job, one that is quite common (software engineer). I didn’t luck into some unique position or business opportunity.

I’m happy that you don’t consider yourself rich with your 5 bedroom house and full time nanny, but that’s what you are. You’re rich.

And yes, software engineers stand to profit from moving to the US. There’s very few other jobs like it though.
