My child finished education and working. My only liability is to spend money on his marriage.
If you have own house you need Rs. 5 laks per year to live comfortably. I have around 1.25 Cr in liquid cash so this way I can live for next 20 years without doing anything.
Now calculate how much money you will need since you have 2 school going children

Hi GD,
I am more or less in your line, but thinking of having better financial security before leaving current job, may be another 10 years more as salaried class.
I think what you need to do is to make estimate of your expected expenditure back in home town, school, food, entertainment, social get together, functions, donations like wise.
See if it matches with your income from bank FD.
As simple as that, right?
Good luck

When people come to kuwait , no one asks how much years it takes to make a crore rupess, but when your a bit tired they ask how much you need to relax back home. count your blessing and leave the country without making noise and just like the way you came here, rest leave it to God.

Rs. 2.5 Crores will fetch you an interest of approx. 1.45 lakhs per month (@7%) on which you will have to pay income tax. Assume you get 1.2 lakhs after interest.
You may need 75 lakhs for your expenses if you are living in a city and say 50 lakhs if you live in a village. The balance is your saving. So you should be able to save Rs. 50K from interests every months.
I suggest that you put that money into shares or mutual funds/ SIP, which should fetch you higher returns than your FD. You will also be paying less tax on your gain ( e.g. long term gains are not taxable at the moment).

It is an interesting case study. I have completed 15 years here and reaching 45 years. I was getting salary 900 at the beginning and now around 1600. I could manage to save so far only 1.8 Crore. May be my family with two kids of Class 9 and 7 with me from the beginning. The going back to home land thinking prop up my mind occasionally. But what to do there is the big question. There are some plus and minuses of living here. The most negative aspect is lack of social life, entertainment avenues, losing festival and other family functions etc. Positives are decent infrastructure, less work related tension, tax free savings etc.
Overall I feel continuing here is better than going back to home land. Sometimes feels the decision taken then to leave job there just for money was a mistake. But circumstances then were different. Even now people are leaving decent jobs and coming here just for money. So it is all personal decisions.
I advice to GD is to forget the idea of going back. If the working hours not comfortable just try to find another job or adjust mind to adapt to the working hours (more practical). At this age resettlement is a problem. Or if ready to take risk consider Canada option.

Life is to live. Any clear cut definition for living. It is all depending upon person to person. Some people like to sit idle, some used to drink favorite whiskey, some like watching film, some like watching news on TV, some are food loving, some other have some other likes. Similarly some do loving money knowing well that the money they are generating is not going to be useful to them. Examples and Warren Buffet, Steve Cooks, etc. They have money that me or you cannot imagine. Why do they want to work still? See the way Steve or Facebook owner dresses. Very shabby from our perspective. See how and where Warren Buffet living. Still in an old fashioned three bed room house. they have no problem in traveling in economy class tickets.
In summary if one is happy with what he/she is doing that is the best way to live. Not just imitating someone and doing things not liked or favorite.

It all depends on how you adjust to the situations and it varies from person to person. "Wealth" is not mandatory to retire. I saw many people living happy & peaceful life without having HUGE bank balances or wealth. So it's upto you to decide.

several times this has been discussed in this forum. before going back, make sure that you have a source to generate monthly income and the income can be increased according to the change in cost living. Bank interest will not help as the rates have come down last week and are not dependable. eg; a person getting interest income of 70K monthly (1CR @8.5%) will hence forth get only Rs57K monthly due to reduction in rate (1CR @6.9% todays rate) so bear in mind...u should have a monthly income generating investment other than FDs.

@Shameel Usman- Some call it interest, some call it share of profits. Interest is paid by using the deposit money in some form of business.

Don't say interest & profit are same, people will start saying bribe is also a kind of business.. yes both are money but there is lot of difference
- Money is called black money why
Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein. Al-Quran 2:275

Do you want IIK members to tell you how many cloths you should buy in next 20 years. Do you expect IIK members to advice you how many time to ***## . Go to hell. Adding masala topic here. Don't know why people respond to this kind of questions. There are 1000s of people work years here and not able to save anything and you are just worried how much more money you need. Shame on you !!!
