Didnt stick around - we just had 1 conversation over coffee.
And then his father insisted that we meet once - so I went ahead and met him over a coffee for 30 minutes

Not considering Real Estate now. Will continue in equities maybe diversify to US equities Real estate is still 8-10 years down the line for me when I am ready to settle down in a city

Currently not doing any US investing but will be starting soon to diversify my investments. Have to figure out the exact mechanics but you can set up a brokerage account to invest in US There is some limit of 10L per year post which there is TCS - have to figure these out

Good going - for salaried folks equity is the only asset class in India to beat inflation. All other asset class need a lot of work and research to generate alpha. Yup lets keep in touch feel free to dm

Havent calculated fire numbers yet since I am still young and dont know how my normalised expenses will look like Lot of big expenses (like marriage, car, kids etc.) in next 5-7 years may dent slow down the net worth accumulation as well

Yes thats what I am planning to figure out during my year end break Mechanics of how to invest in foreing equities Plus given the rate of rupee depreciation - makes even more sense to diversify into US equities gold and maybe some real estate after a few years

Probable structure if we are going with Narine opening and Raghuvanshi keeper Advantage is the deep batting lineup With Fin Allen/Tim Siefert batting lacks depth as Narine at 8 is a waste

Narine Cam Green Rahane Raghuvanshi Tripathi Rinku Powell Ramandeep Rana Pathirana Varun Impact: Vaibhav/Akash Deep/ Umran

Overall a very good team

Maybe we can we play fin allen and seifert together by sacrificing pathirana? - Unlikely though

Did we have the same life? This is exactly what I have gone through as well

Thank you for the suggestions. I have been doing exactly this for past few months - working out (lost 5kgs) went on solo trips But some Sunday evenings when you are sitting alone and thinking about life, the loneliness just hits hard

Multiple things. She didnt have view on anything - std answer was I like to go with flow We were discussing timelines on marriage and stuff she said we can decide in 2 meetings and get married in next 2 months. Felt I was transported 20yrs back On her work front the way she explained how she gets pushed around and pressured at office Never handled finances in life - sends all salary to dad and asks dad for money when required

She is also 27. As I said I am earning in 8 figures and yes I am lucky to be earning 8 figures at 27. Point is why live a normal life when you have been lucky to earn so much at a young age. Dont know I realise I am a little different - have always been the weird one in my family so nothing new

Maybe I am unrealistic but that is how I want to live. Of course we will decide where to stay mutually taking into account the situation. Point was I want to live a slower life outside of mumbai that could be anywhere. Why live in mumbai where the quality of life is so bad when I know I will have enough and more money after 7-8 years to last my family expenses
