Thanks, but I already did that 8 years ago when I moved to UK from a poor Eastern European country. You should ask yourself how migrants without money, friends and language skills manage to live a better life than locals who have all the privileges and rights. Maybe it's not about "means of production", maybe it's about YOU.

Me? Im a software developer and doing alright.

Just because I am doing alright doesn’t mean everybody else is.

For every success story of rags to riches, how many failures are there?

Just because you made it doesn’t mean everybody can.

Where did you live when you got here? How did you support yourself whilst finding work, like paying rent and food etc.

Perhaps your tips could help others.
