How much money is enough for a 26 yo to FIRE in India?

why don't people earn by 30 and fire in India? by retiring early i mean stop working for money only work if you like.

None. You can potentially work your way through life easily in India with savings worth 500k-1mill. But human tendency is to want more, and to keep the growth graph pointing up. Which means youll keep hustling till you can, for you, for growth, for your future kids / family. Good luck :)

+1 Dreaming of early retirement is a symptom of being unhappy with your current state. If you quit your job, it's unlikely to change that. Sure, you'll be happy for a couple of weeks. But not indefinitely. Find out what you don't like about your current job that makes you want to not be there, and find ways to fix it.

Insisting on continuing to work is a symptom of being unhappy with your current state. If you find a job to distract you, it's unlikely to change that. Sure, you'll be happy for a couple of weeks. But not indefinitely.

2 bed 2 bath in pune is costing me $150k. Education cost ( primary school) is more than $1-1.5k / year. If you have a house/ apartment and ready to educate your child(ren) in not so great school you can survive with half a million i guess

Or buy three of those rent out 2 of them and keep living off of it.

Is it now common to use "million" in India instead of lakhs?

Hey Walmart, thanks for the data.. that is helpful... I am from Pune and i wanted to know the cost of living these days. If i go back to India, i would want to live a good lower upper class life instead of upper middle class.

95% of IT population in India earns very less. They keep paying for home loan till 45. For others, it's an option to retire early but most of the people don't have any passion or it gets killed by that time
