r2i forum

You have not mentioned location where you will work in US. However 60k is too less for any part for family 3 to live comfortably and save money on top of that. Not sure if your wife will work or not.

Last day in India. Good Bye India!!

Wow!! Very nice written thoughts! Agree with most of them. 70% of them applicable to me and that's why me too in process of moving back ...(rest 30% are not related because of the situation) The bottom line is due to something (somebody says population), the value of human being has reduced ...

I also wanted to clarify one thing which was not rightly perceived. My wife owns a company and she is doing good. Its consulting company having 5-6 employees already. Somehow in few posts I read that folks are assuming that my wife does not have financial freedom etc.

I am a USC, so I can opt out incase I have to, which I think is easier said than done. I own a home in US. Thats the biggest headache ...

R2I-2010, Not sure if I take it as complement or something I should improve/correct :) clarence123, You are absolutely right but atleast I will not go route of my wife to show frustration and spread stress around with me, kids. I have now 3 (wife+2kids) people dependent on me (emotionally for sure ...

Thanks cf_r2i and Samairati! We did consider that option where MIL move to my parents old home than staying with me in my new apartment. But that home is old (25+ year old apartment) with no lift/elevator and amenities that are now considered basic but completely missing. Moreover since my kids are ...
