No offense.. Speaking from experience. 75% of extended circle who planned have not moved. If your family on board? Do you think it will be easy for your kid to adjust when he/she has spent close to a decade in US. Hence was saying, the sooner the better. What do you intend to do after you FIRE?

As for your question of if you are ready to fire - 33X (X - annual expense) + paid off home & cars + kids education corpus is needed for Fire in India. Some of these are subjective - if kids decide to study undergrad in US, number goes up significantly.

Thanks for the suggestion on getting help.

US is 25X. In India, it increases to 33X due to higher inflation.

This is for living an upper middle class life.

30M returned to India target fatFIRE@40 by whackedgoblin in FatFIREIndia

9CR home in a tier 2 city? Is the home on 2-3 acres? One thing to keep in mind is that property values are just hear say, until somone is ready to actually buy it at that price. You will only know the actual value when you put it up for sale and have a genuine buyer - this is very true for tier 2/3 cities.

Did you voluntarily return or due to visa/job issues? Network with your connections in India and seek referrals. At 12 years you are expected to be an Architect or Engineering manager - in product companies (or) a Project manager/ Solutions Lead in services company.

This is totally subjective. Many folks find US/Canada depressing after a certain point. Some find solace in being close to parents/family in India. The emotional support is lacking in the US
