I am 73. I used Option A, with a modification. The funds I drew out of my IRA during the years age 62 to 70 I didn't spend, but by conversion, put into my Roth IRA. So, all the market growth over the past 10 years in my Roth has been tax FREE. This is important, because once I hit age 70 and began collecting Social Sec, I did not want my bigger Social Security benefits to be pushed into a higher tax bracket due to Required Minimum Distributions that began for me at age 70

If you want to go back to India , do it before you first child is under 5-7 years old . It becomes more difficult after that , progressively each passing year, and eventually it comes to a point when it is unfair on your children due to various reasons and also difficult for yourself and also difficult to reconnect with social contacts due to the fact that you can only settle in a cities like Banglore, Pune ( unless you are from those cities and you go back there). And in India, people haven’t got time either, most people only socialise on WhatsApp and very superficial, so you may end up more lonely. So many factors to take in to account.

Hi Shirish - I moved to the US in 2015. I had a successful growing business in India that was already supplying the US. Initially it was tough, as India is comfortable, it’s home, you have a network of people around you, you feel secure. The US has a sense of adventure, optimism, extremely business friendly environment, you feel like you can do anything - incomparable to anywhere else I have seen, including India where it is extremely tough to get that feeling and the environment is tough and very competitive. I feel happier here making less money and doing more myself than I did in India with a team of people around me and everything done for me. Visually the country is beautiful. What goes in comes out, you see nice things you feel good - I live in beautiful Southern California so that helps. Of course many things are to some extent self created. You create your own reality / environment based on how you are a person and how you process things. Both countries offer opportunities but US for sure is ahead leaps and bounds.

@@-Engineering01-am not judging him but usually Gujrathis love US and I even witnessed some gujratis spending 1cr+ to reach US illegally… It’s all about social status and life style in Gujrati culture and Similarities can be seen in Punjabis moving to Canada.. Punjab has a popular richness and foreign brands show off culture..and again this is popular opinion and is not true for all…

2 most important things you did tell are 1) would you have returned if you got green card, 1) your financial position in India.

There can be several potential losses and consequences for US and Canadian citizens if they surrender their citizenship and migrate to their original home country of India: 1. Tax Implications: - Giving up US/Canadian citizenship means the individual will no longer be subject to worldwide income taxation in those countries. - However, the individual may still have tax obligations in India on their global income, assets, and transfers. - There can be complex tax implications and potential double taxation issues to navigate. 2. Social Security/Pension Eligibility: - US and Canadian citizens build up eligibility for social security and pension benefits over their working years. - Renouncing citizenship may impact their ability to access these benefits, depending on totalization agreements between countries. 3. Healthcare Coverage: - Losing US/Canadian citizenship means losing access to government-sponsored healthcare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Canada's universal healthcare. - The individual would need to rely on India's healthcare system, which may have different coverage, costs, and quality of service. 4. Travel Restrictions: - US and Canadian passports provide visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to many countries worldwide. - Giving up that citizenship means the individual would need to obtain an Indian passport, which may have more travel restrictions and visa requirements. 5. Asset/Property Ownership: - There can be challenges in maintaining or transferring ownership of assets and properties across borders. - The individual may face tax implications, legal hurdles, or restrictions on certain types of assets. 6. Family/Personal Ties: - Renouncing US/Canadian citizenship may sever certain familial, social, and professional connections in those countries. - Reintegrating into Indian society after years or decades abroad can also present personal and cultural adjustments. The decision to give up US or Canadian citizenship is a major one with long-term financial, legal, and personal implications. Careful research and planning are advised to understand the full scope of potential losses and ramifications.

[@smitapatil5612]

In USA, one doesn't have social recognition, this is the biggest disadvantage. The life is reduced to earning money, going to restaurants, enjoying holidays etc etc, but in the end what is the sum total and what are the achievements is the key issue. Another factor is one may earn in dollars, but it has value 80X only if one comes back to India, in USA, dollar is dollar, nothing more.

I don’t agree with the part where you say everyone smiles back at you in the park etc, California is a sharp contrast. Nobody cares. No mannerisms. I think, in USA, it depends on the state where you live. People in some states are very friendly.

[@ShirishGee]

I am sure you are right! I had that experience and I mentioned it 😊

[@PaulGill-jf9cm]

India is a growing superpower and the the economy is booming. Yes it has its challenges but they will be solved. America is getting more dangerous and even more racist than before. I’m glad I moved to India. It’s our motherland with great history.

Looks like the author of this video has not been in the US for too long. I am an Indian American and have been in the US for more than 30 years now. The thing about the US is stuff varies from place to place, even by zip code sometimes. For example, people in Seattle areas do not smile at others and are very conservative due to their German and Scandinavian suppressed emotions background. It is not USA per se but where these families immigrated from historically. Similarly towns where people with Mexican or Spanish ancestry dominate, things are a lot more cheerful but the towns are a lot more poorer. There are very friendly towns in the Midwest, but with poor air connectivity or reduced job opportunities. Many government research labs are set in such towns. This host here has probably been working in the usual east coast H1B finance jobs. That is only part of America. Again islands like Hawaii or Puerto Rico have their own legacy culture due to the ethnicities there. People are loud, festive, run retail shops, are less into mainstream American values and do other things. Hawaii also has high end government jobs off limits to foreigners. So there is zero chance that the host here would know anything about life there. What I find funny is that even though the Indian H1Bs are limited to a few H1B friendly areas , they generalize Americans all over the vast country of the US, who vary in their outlook, wealth preferences, culture etc.

[@tompasand1797]

After being in the Mid-East countries for long, I moved to North America with my family. Though I and my family were missing India, we enjoyed our stay in our new country. We liked our job, kids started to enjoy new culture, their schooling, etc. In our initial years we always felt to spend 6 months in a year in India after we get retired. However, each passing time, and especially in the past 10 years we felt India is not at all a good place for us. Though we still visit our great Motherland once in 2 years, none of us enjoy our stay in the country. The issues are poiytical system, pollution, inflation, and many. We also sold the house that we wanted to spend our retirement.

Great video 😊 I came across your video while pondering if I should look into moving to the US/ Dubai. I am definitely more inclined towards Dubai at the moment. As it’s an emerging market and it’s closer proximity to India. I am currently working on launching my leather goods brand hence I feel Dubai would also be a good choice for me. Just wanted to know what you think about the same?
