Would a lot of people 'vote with their feet' to join a new country? The good news is that you probably could do it without going broke if you want to move--especially if you don't own a home. The hard part is that leaving relatives, your local ties, and the low interest rate you have on a house if you have a mortgage make it hard. If you could afford to 'get away', you probably already have unless you are 'a few years from retirement'.
