I would also dispute the “shitload of money” claim. Moving always costs money but I know bunch of people that moved from South America, Australia or Eastern Europe and none of them are rich. You really just need to be able to find a job. Any job. If you have a skill that’s needed here you will be fine.
20k a year is not a shitload of money. Of course no one is just going to give a job, apartment and Spanish wife just for coming in here but the system is not just of the wealthy. Normal people use it all the time.
I know how easy or hard it is because I moved to Spain and I know a lot of people who did the same. It’s not as easy as going on holidays but it’s also not something only the rich can do.

Well, I meant it more in the sense that otherwise moving is usually hard work and is more or less no different for any country
