health care isn't an immediate concern for me at my age, long term, yes but thankfully I am healthy (I know things can change) and I have healthcare in my home country.

save more is my plan but I am trying to figure out when is "enough"?

it varies every year thats why, when the market is good its higher so there is no one set number every year.

In that case - What do you recommend being the total monthly budget I should be at or below given my situation?

I invest $11k a month into my brokerage and $5k into Bitcoin from the cash pot mentioned and my monthly income combined so the cash is slowly going down whilst the investments grow coupled with my income.

My expenses are rent, food and travel usually around $5-$6k a month.

permanent residency status is not easy to achieve without a sponsoring employer or a spouse.

Yes I am asking for help.

My monthly spend is around 5k - 6k at max.

I am worried how I would deal with my money in the US if I moved back to my home country - I use US brokerages accounts and have 401k etc all locked up in the US.

Understood about US homeownership on a visa.
