That's pretty much as everywhere in Europe. Unemployment is huge in everywhere - and what the guys are saying here is true - at least that's what I've heard from a friends who live in US. Hardworkers are always welcome there, but you shall need a huge amount of luck to make it there too. According my experience the best people to make business or to work with are the US guys - they always knows what they want and if you're giving them what they need they would gladly pay you the price you want - at least these are the guys I've been working with.
Also - If you have a plan then you can find your niche and make it - webmaster, programmer, architecture - whatever you're doing.
On the other hand - you can shorten your expenses / like the 5000 E sofas or something/ and wait for the crisis to pass away ( which is not the best option for you - as far as I can see)
The dude who wrote about the villa and the maids says that he made it - if he's telling the truth (but here people often lie about their financial situation - it's not good for business to tell the people you're broke or something, if you had successfull company the past 10 years), so that means that you can make it too if you find the right combination. Important - I'm not saying the guy with the villa that he's lying - not at all - I admire his success and wish him all the best - he can hire me anytime though
Also - there will be good guys who will give you very good advice so follow on them and don't mind the haters, trolls and other kind of fairy tale characters. Eyes on the target best of luck.
Cheers,
