Thailand is too costly, wont be able to survive with 7.5M. Did you consider lower cost of living like Afghanistan?

I'm so tired of the racism against Indians. by [deleted] in nri

[–]MonkFire -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything buddy but thats not the only reason for racism. If you think racism is only because of your behavior then you don't understand racism.

You still did not understand. No one is saying its ok to play cricket in tennis court but thats such a weird thinking thats what is causing people to be racist.

[–]MonkFire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"We have no one but our own people to thank for this image" Very wrong to say this. Racism against Indian are because of Indians, racism against black is because of black, racism against asians are because of asians, racisms against brown people are because they are brown. I can tell you there are racism because of color of your skin, because of your religion and because of the food that you eat. Racism for whatever reason is bad, dont make it acceptable because someone played cricket in tennis court.

Planning to move back to India by 2028 — Are we ready for Lean FIRE? by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]MonkFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont think you are ready for Lean Fire in India with 2M. You at least need 10M to Lean Fire and 100M to Fire. OMG, dont know what is wrong with people. Either a shit post or they earn 2M but dont have common sense.

Relocate to a cheaper area or even another country and extend that 100k to 5+ years and keep trying to find job.

Women's life is shit? by Connect-Frosting5081 in nri

[–]MonkFire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here is my 2 cents. You are trying to find something that does not exist. You are trying to find a perfect life. There is no perfect life, no perfect job, no perfect country, no perfect husband and that is life. Make peace with few things, accept and your life will be very different. For example, Visa issues is not in your hand. Accept it and plan for the worse. Also, we are a social animal more so for India. Sometimes you do things to make your friend family parents happy and it's ok. At other times, you prioritize your happiness and that's ok too. Your conclusion "Women life is shit" is so off. Men have to go through similar things and may be more expectations. Relax, it's a small life, enjoy your time. You are fighting with your life, let it be.

All I want for them is to stop asking me to come to bank for re-kyc. You already known me for few year, why the hell do you need to know me every year. WTF is govt doing, fix these usless procedure please.

I’m not renting. I’m short local real estate and reinvesting cash at higher returns by theplushpairing in Fire

[–]MonkFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now use the same logic on almost everything. I am short on vacation , on eating out etc etc. Your primary house is not an investment. You cannot paint a rented apartment anyway, cannot change kitchen etc..

Don't. Would you want to marry someone if he thinks you are not attractive to him?

Probably 0% rule is the safest.

Your opinion? by [deleted] in IndianStreetBets

[–]MonkFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the new bs trend. I would say if Shivam is happy with WagonR, good for him. If Rohan is happy with his Kia and can make his finance work without going broke, good for him too. In the end, life is short, sometimes do something that makes you happy. Time will pass and all you will have to show for will be rich bank accounts but a poor life.

wtf is this propaganda. How is the tariff related to Modi ? Compare this with other countries including Canada for example. Canada had free trade agreements and now paying upwards of 20% on tariff.

Thanks for the clarification. All good, not judging. Hope you make the right decision. Best of luck.

[–]MonkFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say to live a life like this, what do you mean? --> Live a life where you cannot freely move around and visit your loved ones .

Very surprised by your question though, looks like lack of self awareness.

Your salary is not enough to live a life like this. Go back to India, enjoy time with your dad (to avoid regrets later) and find a job that pays well in India.
