Ultimately it depends on how entrenched you were in your original culture.
Personally I don’t regret it one bit. Built (and still building!) a life here; actively working for being “just another person in the society”. However I have almost zero connection to the society I came from, and not much to look forward to if I were to go back. I hated the culture; and couldn’t come to terms with it - even though it works well for some.
That being said if the only reason was economical I think it wouldn’t have been worth it. Especially in our line of work remote work for developed countries yield a much higher quality of life. Just my 2c.
