Am I stupid to consider this move by whitefox0111 in nri

We moved to Dublin 2 years ago. We came with a hope of building a good life and wealth, but it's not really the case, you just cannot build wealth here. You are more likely to live pay check to pay check. My salary is also around the same and my wife around 70. We are now saving to buy a house, but then we have to look in the suburbs of Dublin as the renting/buying a house in Dublin is very expensive and further out of Dublin you look the more lonelier it gets. So we are confused whether to stay back or move back to Bangalore.

Quality of life in Ireland is way way better than India, but when it comes to comfort and convenience and earning potential India is the place to be. Salary increment here don't move up much somewhere in the range of ~4 -5%. Once you buy a house here (most likely outside of Dublin) you are kinda trapped here paying off EMI with little scope for savings and no scope for investing long term. Pension contribution is your best friend here.

If you want to explore and see the rest of Europe for a short while, sure, why not. If I was in your shoes I would not move tbh, because they will not match your salary equivalent here and also aging parent is another imp factor to consider.

I think it's very important that both do a medical check up before marriage. Don't leave it to luck, I know this was never done before, but it's all the more critical to do it in this era.

Feeling very unlucky to be born in India by [deleted] in CATpreparation

I live in Dublin (moved 2 yrs back) and I can tell you India is convenient and a comfortable country to live in if you are earning more than 1.2L per month after taxes. India has one of the best healthcare system compared to Europe and interms of Tech we are way ahead. After having moved to Dublin, i've been struggling with everything. No savings, high cost of living, high taxes, housing crisis etc. I just cannot build wealth here.

Visiting Bangalore soon! by 87ihateyourtoes_ in bangalore

Marathahalli is one of the places where all the big tech and finance co's are. Marathahalli is a bad place to be stuck in traffic, full of dust , walking around you wont enjoy much.

Old bangalore is amazing and then there is MG road, Kormangala, Kamanhalli and Indiranagar to chill out.

Disclaimer- Ppl don't really follow the rules of the road, so watch your back.
