This is not necessarily helpful, but consider eliminating "wait" as a thing you can do. If it is true you cannot leave the country due to financial constrains and you do not wish to do it as a result, then stop waiting to leave.
Now your focus can be re-targeted to doing -- so long as it's not doing waiting. It sounds like you have freelancing aspirations. Perhaps something worth doing is building a solid social network with a referral program. A bonafide consultancy. You may still want to go to another country, but you aren't waiting to do it -- you are starting a consultancy.
There may come a day when you see the financial success you set out for. You'll note you want to leave the country, so you will book a ticket for next week and set up an apartment. You'll just do it.
Semantically, you still waited. Mentally, you took action -- so there was no negative fallout usually associated with waiting. Always commit fully to your present task, do not let the delusion of waiting creep in and breed complacency.
It's what I am trying, at least... human nature does have a lot of exploits.
As I've explained to jacquesm ... while I "wait" to leave the country, I'm spinning up a freelancing business to the point where it's a reliable income stream so I don't find myself in a situation where I take on jobs out of desperation.
But this is a matter of perspective. Ask my mum and she'll tell you I'm a bohemian idiot who doesn't want to get a regular job and dicks around on his computer all day.
