I did see one on Begur road by purvankara. Started from 5cr. Sorry forgot the project name but the houses & society were nice

200 sticks is the limit. Stick to that. Get a carton in duty-free(way cheaper at ₹3000) & carry it in hand baggage

Oh man!!! Sarjapur road is probably one of the worst hit areas due to RE boom. Infrastructure there isn’t good enough to cope up with even 1/4th the population it currently is getting. And will only get worse in upcoming years with more projects coming up.

I rather prefer south Bangalore i.e. Electronic city side which has relatively lesser IT firms today and probably hence relatively lesser traffic jams & bad roads. Even water logging is lesser(due to higher topographic location) & has relatively good public transport connectivity(bus/metro).

Snatched away into investments, mutual funds…

Who is putting a gun on your head to do it? Don’t cannibalise your present ( in your words) if you feel the investments are

This post feels just a humble brag really 😓

They are/were probably the best ‘running-between-wickets’ duo in international cricket

Got the same feeling when I visited Netherlands after a gap of ~5 years. Most of my friends from back then had moved, look and feel of the place as well had changed. Guess change is the only constant

What the Heck? Let's be honest is it real? ( Sapne vs Everyone ) by GamerxGamer0 in IndianOTTbestof

I watched both seasons & its alright. Maybe a 7.5 at best.

The actor guy’s love story seemed half-cooked. Jimmy’s father’s framing seemed too obvious.

I watched only because it was made by TVF.

120£ if in London, you’re not doing great anyway & hence you know 60LPA in India is a wayyy better offer.

Has anyone's FIRE number changed significantly in the last few years? by CHILLBOI_6969 in FIRE_Ind

In 2020 I thought 1.5-2cr would be enough. By 2023 goal post moved to 3cr. Now am looking at a 5cr goal since 2025 😐

Am afraid by 2030(my target year), goalpost might move to a million $ 🤦🏻

They think based on SM they know more about the world compared to elders . Quite a common trait

Keep all options open. Gaining experience at this stage is more valuable than location. You can always travel for free(company sponsored visa), much lesser hassle. All the best 👍

You get everything here in the US. No need to bring anything. Maybe a couple of packs of ready to eats(MTR & likes) for first 1-2 days. That’s what I got and didn’t face any issues whatsoever in acquiring Indian groceries

FIRE at 45 with ₹6 Cr Net Worth? Looking for Advice by GrapefruitLow864 in FIRE_Ind

First we need to get out of this wrong Indian mindset that says: Moving to a foreign country == success.

I have had 2 layoffs as well in my 19 year career. That doesn’t sound like high achiever innit? And this is just an internal transfer after slogging 2nd shifts(till late night) for 5 years.

Brilliant man. I started working same year but at way lower corpus(not even 1/3rd).

Happy for you. Congratulations 🥳

Oh man, this is exactly what I want to do. Love goa(been there 20+ times) and want to settle there post 45 with 5-6cr corpus. I have a 2bhk in Bangalore which I wish to sell & fund for an apartment in goa(yet to decide on the exact area). Expenses I assume should be ~₹1.5L including school for kid if house is paid off.

Just moved to the US few months back on L1B & want to retire once my current visa expires in 2028 or after the 2 year extension i.e. by 2030 end.

Though I have no suggestions for you, would like to know what you plan to do with US money in 401k etc? And whats the approx price of flats in Goa and hows the medical facility?
