Indian Couples Weigh Early Retirement Amid Varied Financial Circumstances
Two Indian couples are considering early retirement despite differing financial situations. A Bengaluru couple, both 36, has amassed an Rs 11 crore liquid corpus and owns a Rs 6 crore home but remains uncertain about quitting their high-paying jobs. Meanwhile, a Delhi couple, both 43, with Rs 85 lakh savings and two rental properties generating income, plans to retire within a few years while maintaining modest expenses. Both cases highlight the challenges of deciding when financial independence is sufficient to leave employment.
