NRI Compares US and India Earnings and Expenses, Highlights Age-Based Differences
Nitin Malhotra, an Indian living in the US, shared that despite earning about $8,000 monthly (around Rs 1 crore annually), his high expenses on mortgage, taxes, insurance, and food leave him saving only $1,000 to $1,200 monthly. He compared this to his time in India earning Rs 25 lakh annually, where he saved more after lower living costs. Separately, Arham Ishteyak highlighted that moving abroad impacts NRIs differently based on age and financial status, with younger professionals benefiting more from US opportunities than older, settled individuals.
