A US-based NRI couple, with a net worth of ₹6 crore, is planning to return to India in four years due to the ongoing stress of US immigration and a desire for a nature-focused lifestyle. They aim to settle in South India, possibly in Ooty, Coimbatore, or Kochi, where they can enjoy a serene environment and pursue their hobbies such as hiking, boating, and gardening. The couple, in their early 40s, plans to purchase a ₹3 crore home and rely on their investments for a modest lifestyle. Their daughter, who is currently in high school, may choose to pursue further education in the US on an F1 student visa. The couple's decision to return to India was influenced by their desire for a peaceful life, free from the stress of US immigration. They want to spend their days surrounded by nature and engage in activities that bring them joy. On Reddit, the couple shared their plans and received advice from users, who cautioned them about the cultural and linguistic challenges they may face in India. A financial analyst suggested that they target a corpus of ₹10 crore, which could yield a post-tax income of ₹54 lakh per year, sufficient for a comfortable lifestyle in India. As the couple prepares to make the move, they are considering the pros and cons of settling in a smaller city or town in South India. While they are attracted to the natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle of these areas, they are also aware of the potential challenges they may face in adapting to a new culture and language.
