May Allah Ta'ala make it easy for you. ameen.
Do consider the following
roadblocks
before you move to another country.
-
Language
. If you want to marry a native woman and if you want to teach english you will have to learn the local language. You cant teach english without knowing two languages.
-Prepare yourself for
culture
shock and lower
standard of living
. Emigration to any part of the world comes with a huge change in way of living. Certainly pakistan and other asian countries you will won't have many things that you get in US. Middle eastern countries might be a better off as they are more developed.
-Difficulty in getting a
spouse
. People of the sub-continent
usually
are reluctant to marry a person of different ethnic background. 'White' people are respected, but i m not sure if that respect will extend to tying knots. But things are different in different places.
These are a few things of the top of my head. Other than pakistan, do check out indonesia and middle east and the african countries.
The sure advantage is your income in Dollars. The
conversion rate
will be good and in places like pakistan even though your pension is low, you will be able to live comfortably. But middle east would be bit costlier. Forget Dubai, abu dhabi, cost of living is too high. I m not sure about Qatar or saudi arabia.
Make sure you have this in mind.
1. Niyyah (intention): Actions are rewarded by their intentions. Make sure you intent this change of place to be closer to Allah, and not just for worldly benefit. In that way you will get the reward for your efforts.
2. Dua. : Make sure you make abundant Dua to Allah Ta'ala. He is our Provider and our Facilitator and there is no Power other than His. Dua is the weapon of the believer. Make use of it.
It will all go fine.
