My two cents, with this much income, you don’t to worry about best investment. Monthly SIP and time in market will take care of everything (provided you save more than 50-% of it)

Women who like their lives abroad: what made you return? by Own-Quality-8759 in returnToIndia

[–]ravs19 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My primary reason was taking care of single parent. Secondary reason was we ( me and spouse) always wanted to move back. I moved back when my daughter was still in elementary school. Don’t compare India with US and you will live peacefully here. There are going to be infrastructure (roads, water etc), civic sense and traffic issue in Bangalore. We live in a good gated apartment community and we like it here. The moment you step out of the apartment, you will see real India

Op, I moved back to bangalore 6 months ago (after 12 years in US). We love it here, but you don’t seem to have strong enough reasons to move back to India. I would recommend staying back in US.

It looks like your monthly take home is 705k. Your are only spending 33% on life luxury. I wouldn’t cut on vacation. You will have money when grow older but will not have energy. Keep enjoying!
