Bermuda is a fairly rich country. The GDP per capita here is around $70,000. nearly twice that of the USA and Canada. It's kind of a funny little place. Actually a British protectorate rather than a country, really, in it's own right. There's very few homeless people here at all. Well, in fairness there's very few people at all. It's a small city on an Island, basically.

It's tough to be here. You can't just move here. You can't even become a citizen, unless you marry a Bermudian and even then it takes 10 years. You can't work in many sectors reserved soley for Bermudians and they will only let you work in other sectors for no more than 10 years unless you are a critical asset to the company (think CEO of a hedgefund).

I'm here on an annual permit to reside because my entire income comes from outside of Bermuda.
