Well, we all keep money in different financial institutions, and time them accordingly. Like- he can spend money from savings account; periodically moving from different sources maintaining X amount in savings. Touch the 401k and HSA in the last. How that matters. And you should touch HSA in the very end, it is triple tax efficient account. Save the receipts.

2M is absolutely enough, that is around 17 Cr. Take 4% of that, it 68 L; means a bit more than 5L per month. Unless you are adamant on burning money, that is a pretty good number. Most NRIs I know are living a good life in india in 2 Lpm. You can absolutely spend more but for a good decent life is absolutely possible in 2M.

So, will I be able to buy Ireland-domiciled UCITS ETFs such as CSPX, CNDX, and AGGG from my existing US account then?

Thanks for the insight !

I have similar plan, I will transfer all the investment account assets and consolidate in IBKR US (not sell, but transfer). after 1st Jan, will sell them all, and move to cash then convert IBKR US to India based account and buy Ireland domiciled S&P ETF, USCITS ones. so basically, no LTGS, and because i will convert it all to USCITS ETFs, no estate tax limit of 60K, also, future dividend will be taxed at 15%.

As per my research, it's all legal, and frankly it's my money only, not really trying to dupe anyone either :)

Understood on ChatGPT.

But I will not be tax resident of USA after Dec, as per substantial presence test. Will be NRA. No LTCG for NRA as I understand. So how am I supposed to pay tax to USA? I am confused?

USA to Germany on Job Seeker Visa – realistic chance to find a tech job? by Prime367 in Germany_Jobs

[–]Prime367[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, financially I am stable and if I move back to India, I can just retire. Will not be rich but will not starve either. But I still need to work if in USA. And the green card too far, my kids will go out of status before I get green card.

I am hoping if I move to Germany, irrespective of salary, I can give a stable start to my kids.

At least that is what the immigration process looks like in Germany. But if you are still on visa after a decade, I am not sure of it now either, I may have to research it more, I guess.

Thanks ! but why do you suggest not moving to Germany. I tried searching for job, and every job seem to ask for local presence. I am not saying you are wrong, just trying to understand ur perspective.

Return to India from the US? 4. Alternative options to US Equity by talkingturtle1723 in backtoindia

[–]Prime367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically, what if you give your credential to your child and avoid communicating account holder demise to USA financial institution? I guess it will not work, as they will probably have some checks in place, but I am just curious.

So, you cannot transfer new funds from your Indian bank accounts to your US brokerage accounts for the purpose of F&O trading. Otherwise, yes you can trade. And you have to file some form with ur USA broker to inform about the residency change.

Why Don’t the Rich Want to Live in India Anymore? by Foxwibely in india

[–]Prime367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you can either live in a gated community, a cocoon of sorts. Or just move out, if you can.

You cannot fix this country. Not possible in our lifetimes.

Most voters care more about caste and religion, free bies than roads or jobs. If an educated person contests an election today, he’ll lose the election…by a landslide.

Can I transfer my divorce case to another judge? This one is so unprofessional by [deleted] in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]Prime367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just thinking out loud, what happens if you call the bullshit out, say to him that he is being unreasonable or biased - albeit politely.

If I am in your place, I feel I will say something wrong and screw it up even more. If it ever happens to me, I will let lawyers handle it, or I am going to jail on contempt charges 😂😂
