Anyways, I might still relocate to Saudi Arabia, just to raise my kids in an Islamic environment. But it won't be because I think it is haram to live in the West.

It's good to keep and open mind and be realistic about what you're doing. I think a lot of people who make hijrah don't do their research, and aren't prepared for ground conditions. They paint an unrealistic picture of what life in those countries is like, and then get severe culture shock and disapointment once they arrive and find it isn't the place they imagined.
I don't think I'm obligated to make hijrah, but I wouldn't mind living there either. I would just need a job that would pay me enough to pay my debts and such. Heck, I would probably even be able to adjust to life in Pakistan if I had to.
