That is a real dilemma. If you feel more connected here, then it makes more sense to stay here. Of course, I understand that this might mean that you would have to work for an employer for 7-9 years, but I think that this will give you time to be financially stable and also to start working on some startup stuff in your non-working hours. This is hard to do, but with discipline it can be done. Going broke would make me not even consider the second choice, since that leaves you in a vulnerable state mentally and financially, which is no better than simply staying in the US and working for some company. One of the good things about having a stable job is that you can bootstrap the initial stages of your own company. I know I cannot completely answer your question, so please just take this as a bit of advice from a potential friend.
