Isn't it funny that whatever metric we choose, we put ourselves outside the bell curve? If we're measuring below average, it is everyone else. We tend to be the exception.
Having said that, as a person who *chose* to return and stayed, life is certainly *not* easy here. But it is easier to be among friends and family. A mumbaikar coming back to India should have chosen to go to Mumbai. What has helped me here is precisely that, friends and family. If I had moved to any other city, it would be no different than being in the US. No family or friends, *and* no big bucks.
