Stress ani kadhu kani thappadhu konni…decent life style maintain chesthunappudu. We’re obligated. Immigration ki h1 + premium + h4 and ead every 3 years. Time bagokapote in less shorter time renewals

All I can say is money alone is not the cause of stress.

Ilanti oka plan kuda ledu uncle, but oka 80k debt undi. So more or less, ne magic number tho compare cheskuntey I need to have 3.5M to be stress free.

Uncle mi bro in law tho business plan cheyinchaleda mi in-laws inka ? Intha swecha ga how u are able to do calculations 

@FrustratedVuncle

Domestic ga travel/vacations cheyava? everything is so expensive now so add that costs as well

easily runs into thousands assuming at least 1 good vacation per year (7 days) and 2 small vacations (3-4 days)

every year India trips vese vallu untara?

Subscriptions, credit cards (If you farm points and have annual fee cards),

overall I feel misc expense 5k is very less , you buy so many things, costco, sam pother min 500-600 untundi, is that counted against food costs?

eating out/restaurants is also missing

health care costs increase significant more than inflation as you move into upper 30s and 40s, lot of people will be surprised

For me, having 10k income per month net after taxes (outside of job) while house and car being fully paid (with 1M+ net worth) is a decent stable state 

at that stage you do not have to worry about job loss, monthly expenses are taken care off and your life is more or less insulated from normal expenses, tension free life untundi mostly

people who have rental properties and/or dividends/other incomes are truly blessed!
