A finance influencer's assertion that Rs 5 crore is insufficient for comfortable retirement in India has ignited a widespread online debate. Many users countered that retirement needs are highly individual, depending on factors like lifestyle, location, family size, and existing assets such as property. The influencer's post on X (formerly Twitter) went viral, prompting discussions on lifestyle inflation and the definition of a 'good retirement,' with critics pointing out the lack of clarity on whether the Rs 5 crore included all assets.
