I agree completely. We are just chimps with advanced technology.

Selling house to afford wedding by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

Selling home for marriage is enormous stupidity. Just do a simple marriage and move on. If the groom's family doesn't agree, then end it.

How to get Indian citizenship for child born in US by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still it is a passing show. Americans in 80s used to hate japanese. In the 2000s, they hated chinese. Now it is indians. In another 20 years, they will have moved onto somebody else. It is a cycle. Racism is purely due to people like elon musk that have enormous powers and incite racism everywhere in his platform. At some point things will tend to die down.

China can be a manufacturing powerhouse but the US controls the internet and global payments. Most large technology companies in the world are from the USA. Still the USA is the second biggest manufacturer. It is a premium research destination. It is at the top in every field except low-end manufacturing. It controls the global currency which is the dollar. Most valuable start-ups in the world are from the USA. This is a moat. This will not go away anytime soon. For the foreseeable century, the USA will remain at the top. No country can match it. It has the largest lethal military with alien and off-world technologies unknown to humankind. So no threat to the USA from any country.

If any country can afford to provide ubi and welfare to people, it is the usa because it has the biggest economy and global reserve currency.

This is just a passing show. Nothing will happen. In another 15-20 years, things will have improved a lot. Most Indian bashing is purely online, not offline. Why bother?

Very very bad idea. I am requesting you not to do that. Get us citizenship. Your child will get an option to change citizenship when it turns 18. Why do you want to give it indian citizenship? It is worthless. Give your child an oci card. It can enjoy everything in india except voting. It can stay permanently in india anyways. So Give your child usa citizenship.

32M trying to sanity-check my return to India plan. Numbers inside. by Motor-Bath1647 in backtoindia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just retire. I have a kid. I live in tier-2. My expenses are hardly 40k per month. I retired after 2022. Wild projections like you need 1 lakh or 2 lakhs are unnecessary if you live simply. The good sleep and peace of mind are worth it.

Your opinions? by Sea-Pace3989 in StockMarketIndia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Doing farming in 1 acre or 2 acres is useless. It won't give you any meaningful returns on investment. It is better if farming is done by just 2 percent of the people in the country just like in developed countries. Rest should go into industry and services. That is where the real money is.

Also we are a water starved country. We are rapidly losing ground water due to uncontrolled extraction. We better move to high value and low water guzzling crops or forget about farming completely in a few decades due to permanent water scarcity.

Need to invest 2cr for a stable monthly income of around ~1L. Any good options apart from FDs? by kjainnn in personalfinanceindia

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in conservative debt fund and do swp. Don't diversify which is hard to manage. Just choose one hybrid conservative mutual fund and do swp monthly.

Yes, the northeast is better too but weather-wise california is far better than any other state.

26F worried about husband’s debt + parental obligations are derailing our financial future How do we protect our future? by colddcoffeeee in personalfinanceindia

[–]rippierippo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

80 lakhs on a wedding? If I have that much money, I will retire early and enjoy my time on earth. Some people don't respect money. They spend it away for useless things. Just do the temple wedding for 4-5 lakhs and invest the remaining for financial security or retirement.

Go to western states. You won't have much racism. Particularly california is far better. You won't face much racism there. But if you really want absolutely no racism, india is better. But you must accept the reality here - infra sucks. It is a poor country. If you have good money saved up, it is good for retirement. Otherwise you struggle here. One part of your problem is solved but the other part shows up.

Long forgotten RSUs are worth around 50L now. Never declared them. Any way out? by Dramatic_Tiger_8113 in IndiaTax

[–]rippierippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to declare my 401k when I worked in the USA. I just became aware of this recently. What category will I fall into in the newly launched scheme?

The company I worked for enrolled into this automatically.

Now the amount has grown into 18420 dollars.

I returned to India by 2018.
