Retiring at 50: India vs USA vs a Mixed Strategy Corpus, Cash Flow, and Healthcare — and How You Actually Get There Early retirement at 50 used to sound reckless. Today, for senior IT professionals, it often sounds inevitable. Age bias in tech, burnout, and diminishing upside after peak earning years force an uncomfortable question: If I have enough, where should I retire so it actually lasts? This newsletter covers: Retiring in the USA Retiring in India A mixed global strategy Retiring permanently in India with Indian citizenship And finally—because this is the missing piece in most articles— how someone realistically builds the corpus to make this work. The Starting Point (Age 50) At retirement, the financial picture looks like this: $1.5M in taxable ETFs $1.0M in a 401(k) One rental property in the US One rental property in India No primary-home debt In India, key obligations are already ring-fenced: Villa: ₹4 crore Emergency fund: ₹1 crore Kids’ education: ₹5 crore Kids’ marriage: ₹1.5 crore These are not funded from retirement withdrawals. That separation is critical. The Withdrawal Strategy From age 50: Withdraw 4% annually from ETFs Expected long-term ETF return: ~12% Net expected growth after withdrawal: ~8% This provides income without destroying capital. Cost Reality Check United States Living expenses: ~$96,000/year Healthcare (pre-Medicare): $20k–30k/year Total: ~$120,000/year India Comfortable lifestyle: ₹60–72 lakh/year Healthcare: ₹3–6 lakh/year Total: ~₹75 lakh/year Same comfort. Very different math. Corpus Required Using a conservative 4% rule: USA → ~$3.0 million India → ~₹19 crore India-only (with margin) → ₹22–25 crore Healthcare is the single biggest driver of this gap. Strategy Comparison (Quick Recap) USA-only: Works, but low margin and high healthcare risk Mixed India–US: Best balance of flexibility and safety India-only: Simplest, lowest risk, highest resilience How Do You Actually Reach These Numbers? This is the part most retirement articles skip. This outcome is not the result of a single big decision—it’s the result of boring, disciplined choices made consistently over 15–20 years. 1. Fully Fund 401(k) and Roth Accounts First This is non-negotiable. Max out 401(k) every year Use employer match fully Fund Roth IRA / Backdoor Roth when eligible Why this matters: Tax deferral + tax-free growth Creates a future income stream you don’t touch early Reduces taxable income during peak earning years By age 50, this alone can realistically reach $1M+. 2. Invest ~25% of Income into ETFs After retirement accounts, the next priority is taxable ETFs. Broad-market ETFs Low cost Automated investing No market timing Why 25%? High enough to matter Sustainable during peak earning years Builds the flexible corpus you’ll actually live on Over 12–15 years, this becomes the $1.5M ETF engine that funds early retirement. 3. Pay Off the Primary Home This is less about returns and more about psychology and risk reduction in case of job loss. Eliminates fixed monthly obligations Reduces sequence-of-returns risk Makes early retirement emotionally feasible A paid-off home turns retirement from “fragile” to stable. 4. Buy One Rental Property in the US The goal is not empire-building. It’s diversification. Hedge against inflation Partial income replacement Asset in USD Even modestly positive cash flow reduces pressure on portfolios during bad market years. 5. Buy One Rental Property in India This serves a different purpose: INR income Future local familiarity Optional retirement housing or downsizing It also reduces dependence on portfolio withdrawals once you relocate. 6. Delay Buying a Villa or Primary Home in India This is a critical rule. Do not buy a villa or primary home in India while living in the US. Why wait? Preferences change after relocation City, locality, and lifestyle clarity improves Avoid emotional or speculative purchases Instead: Move to India Rent for ~2 years Understand daily life costs and healthcare access Then buy intentionally Funding the Villa and Kids’ Education This is where the strategy becomes elegant. The sale of the US primary home funds: India villa Kids’ education corpus Part of emergency reserves This prevents: Overloading investment portfolios Early withdrawals Lifestyle compromise during retirement Your retirement assets stay invested. Your life assets are funded separately. Why This Works This approach succeeds because: Growth assets are protected Lifestyle costs are controlled Healthcare risk is minimized Big expenses are pre-funded Geography is used deliberately Nothing here is exotic. It’s just well-sequenced financial behavior. Final Thought Retiring at 50 isn’t about luck or timing markets. It’s about: Saving aggressively when income is high Avoiding irreversible mistakes Using geography wisely Separating life goals from retirement income The goal isn’t to be rich forever. It’s to be unbreakable.

TDP also has got blood on its hands. CBN killed NTR in most brutal way. He even managed to get the chappal slaps to Senior most Jabardasth artist. But Pulkas force us to take only Good from TDP. . Same is the case ... Razakars are a stain on Nizams history... but Pulkas wanted to erase all Good history of Nizam and start re-writing books by claiming "Its because of CBN who brought Microsoft that Hyd got richer and famous"
