Agreed. His options are either to relocate to India or bring his family back to USA. Living separately is not an option.

1. Unfortunately not. You will have to push on at least until 55 years on US salary to get into a more comfortable retirement scenario. 2. I don't think so. At your age taking a break and getting back into the workforce with a new employer will be challenging to say the least. 3. A big No. I don't ...

You have covered school and housing. Overall no major issues with your plan. What about your job(s)?

OP - Please tell us that you were kidding? Have you heard of the term "FORECLOSURE"??? Get on with life. You just put your family and your self through this R2I and back to R2A just because you were not able to sell your house. Life is too short to be making just drastic decisions just because of ...
