I'm outcast. Abnormal
I have no intention of settling abroad. Having lived in Canada, UK, USA, I never filed for ILR/PR. Everyone around me discusses Visa status etc. I try to blend in. But it feels really weird... I just don't feel alive outside of India. Only abroad to make quick money. Reach FI of the FIRE. Then head back and live a chill life. I've no ambitions of making a few millions. I have no intentions of expensive European vacations. They all feel so superficial to me. I have no intention of buying expensive luxury. I don't even have hots for luxury cars. I just like to listen to good music, spend time with family, stay close to nature, eat healthy food, work out. Play sports/video games. I just can't find similar people around.
You have clarity with what you want in life, that a lot of people dont. I think thats great!
Thx mate!
Plenty of people in US have those goals. Maybe you’re in a bubble?
Maybe a lot of them are just pretending to look cool and not an outcast?
I am the same kind of person, except I don't play video games and don't post about it on blind. Just be confident with your decisions and choices, you don't have to defend them to everyone.
Just curious if you’re from Bhopal
Man , many have that desires, including me. But where I differ from you is I don't want to go back and settle in India. Neither do I have as such a desire to stay in US. But being able to travel the world after reaching FIRE would be great. Not as a vacation but as a lifestyle. I do feel much more comfortable in many parts of USA . And I wish and hope to get my family here. But alas family doesn't want to be here. So life goea on in a tussle. Settling back in current India seems more of a hassle. It is not the same simple quiet life. It is expensive, polluted and full of shitty politics
Same goals. Just that I don't have clarity on when to execute. Will be 40s in couple of years, not even close to F in FIRE.
I feel the same way.
Et tu? Me too :)
Meh! I missed my family when I moved to US. But instead of going back, I just got them here! Problem solved 😂
Indians can't do that
Me - left cushy hedge fund job to be in India. Working in a no-name tech firm haha to be close to family.
