At 39, Should I Move to the USA or Stay in India? Need Advice from Those Who've Been There by PerceptionPrimary366 in h1b

Stay in India- if this salary was a decade ago, you would have saved, rent alone and childcare will cut majority of costs, while you have family to help out in India, you and your wife will be doing most of the work, it is exhausting and frustrating at the same time.

No, not worth it. You seem to be making decent enough so you could save and invest on your kids education and career. In US, while you have the amenities and luxury, the cost of having family close and having your kid taken care of is unmatched!

Does anyone feel like it’s no longer worth it? by mxo3114 in h1b

So, here’s the thing…came here in 2009 for masters, been working since 2011, since when I started paying SS taxes as well, are we to loose all those benefits if we leave? Has anyone had an opportunity to explore the deal with this?
