20 Years in the US: Learnings, Dollars, Parenting, Regrets | Life then vs now | Albeli Ritu

[@M10GOAT997]

Di, India has changed a lot. You might save ₹10 lakh more in the USA, but the cost of living there is also ten times higher than in India. Personally, I’d love to visit the USA on a travel visa, but I can’t imagine living away from my family permanently or even for 15-20 years. There’s no place that feels like home without them.

[@rv8044]

I have lived in UAE for 25 and moved to USA since past 6 yrs. I am from Delhi . I had to make emergency visit yo India last week. It is as hot as Dubai or Qatar but in India you get baked even with Ac in all bedrooms. Infrastructure is still poor . In most countries there is central cooling everywhere but not in India. There is so much dust and heat that there is no way you can avoid falling sick even if you eat light home cooked meals. Other than my mom and sister I miss nothing abroad.

[@JanDSouz]

Yes family is the main thing we miss 😔

[@NickBishtVlogs]

Delhi is not India brother 😎 I am from Hill state of Uttarakhand, Nainital, currently in Pune.. No heat waves, no AC needed. In my state, Himalayas there is no pollution and fresh clean air and water we get. ❤ For me, I will never leave India

Those who are from crowded cities or polluted place like Delhi can think of going abroad, but those who are from Himalayan states, Mountains or places surrounded by water bodies and hills, will always prefer to stay in India is what I feel.

[@sugandhamittal1016]

The kind of backyard this guy is sitting in is a dream. In India you can't have that if you go to mountains. In USA, this is inside his own house, that's the difference. Apne ko bich is so overrated, everyone is running a race

[@charlottefx7163]

[@chitpat]

@charlottefx7163 Read about bankruptcies due to medical bills. Long-term care is $12,000/month approx as Medicare doesn't pay everything. There are lawyers who help. Medicare starts after 65, if you have serious illness and less insurance, it is hell.

[@PREMMISRA-is7yq]

IN INDIA DOCTORS SUCK YOUR BLOOD IN STAGES AND AT LASTLY HANDOVER YOU A BIG BILL TO PAY , IN USA YOU PAY THROUGH YOUR INSURANCE POLICY AND THAT ALSO DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH FEDERAL TAXES YOU PAY. NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU FREE OR EASY TREATMENT THESE DAYS JUST SEE CANADA , EUROPE UK ETC .

[@izukualmight7936]

Very interesting interview and I can relate to some of the information provided (I moved 39 years ago to USA). But back in those times we adjusted to what we had. It wasn’t so much about what we had versus what the new generation has. I also grew up in IIT, and saw life back then and now - the changes are no different in USA than what people living in India experience.

[@Pritha879]

Yes ... Except for Infrastructure.. rest is the same

[@ssa5824]

Nice one! Very balanced opinion. It’s important to be clear on the reason why you want to leave or stay. In India, esp. people who cannot leave are jealous, so they try to be sanctimonious and say that we are abandoning our parents. No one understands the agony we suffer of leaving parents and what guilt we carry. Par kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hain and what we lose is a good night sleep without feeling guilty about our parents.

[@kmishy]

This person maintained his look...looks like he came to US just few years back

[@JM-ef7rh]

Sorry to be a dampner. I am in India. And I am not jealous of people living in the USA. I feel sorry for people in USA infact. We are having everything in India. I would love to travel and experience new things but love to come back to India ❤

Exactly, Only the ones who are closely working with the Americans know the reality. USA has a very high inflation rate and only IT job is what you can rely for monthly income, there are no easy other means of monthly income in the US. I want more young people to leave India and go there and remain stuck 😅😅😅😅😅 You will never ever find Indian Americans active in social media also they do not have much travel stories as we Indians have.

"I didn't come here for the money" is a disingenuous answer. A cop out, really. Try asking this question to your next guest: "If the US had offered you a salary that's just about the same as in India (on a purchase parity basis), would you still leave your home country"?

[@moulim672]

They leave their parents with siblings, and lead a comfortable stress free life, and the siblings in India take on full responsibility for aging parents. This is a standard behaviour, no matter what they say. They develop great deception skills on spinning stories of missing family etc etc. But they come to India only to enjoy hospitality of relatives

[@Pratim-z7l]

@@moulim672 yeah agreed and the relatives treat them like East India Company officials. On the other hand, these firangis have to do everything including sweeping, wiping by own overseas so they get very happy witnessing others do that for them in India

Good blog. People rushing to US to work as consultant on H1 B visa thru vendors, not an attractive option. I did not come to US like this, but I see others on H1B. They keep waiting for 15-16 years to get green card. Till that time, they keep looking for a new contract every 2 -3 years, work with no leave. They get good money but have to spend lot of money on health care etc. and life is quite uncertain and unstable. Compared to this, you can get a good job in India and can prosper in 10 - 15 years.
