If being in the EU had enriched the UK and the other component nations I would agree with you. As it is even by the EU's own figures the costs of EU regulation far outweigh the savings of being within the EU. I'm talking a difference of 600bln Euros in costs vs 180bln Euros in savings.
The Euro has certainly enriched Germany, they've had an artificially weak currency to pimp their exports with for years, and the EU has enriched France with the various subsidies they extract especially under the CAP. Many other members the benefits are a tad more marginal.
If you could actually back up your assertions that we need a USE else we'll go bankrupt that would be appreciated as the evidence doesn't appear to favour it.
