Agreed. after your kids are settled if you don’t have a steady income of 5K life it is impossible to live in US. given how tech employment is evolving I don’t think we can compete in the job market in 50s and 60s. buy a house (even a 2 bhk apt is fine) and make sure you have enough to generate a 1 lakh passive income.

Sizzler Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 With kids, hard to save anything with single income. That is the reality of US. India is much better given the good packages now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antha perspectives. Relatives Judge others easily. Its in our blood. They don't realize or learn until it happens to them or they face the same situation. 8 minutes ago, tables said: Agreed. after your kids are settled if you don’t have a steady income of 5K life it is impossible to live in US. given how tech employment is evolving I don’t think we can compete in the job market in 50s and 60s. buy a house (even a 2 bhk apt is fine) and make sure you have enough to generate a 1 lakh passive income. People need more than 5K even in retirement. Retirement is a myth in US, not realistic. Lets say even if the house is paid off, Property Taxes+ yearly Taxes (from 401k withdrawal's) + Medical expenses, Auto Insurance, Property Insurance + Utilities + Groceries + etc. will cost a lot more than than esp with Inflation going up the way it is.
