Why almost ( > 80% ) FIRE posts are from NRIs ? Does that mean Indians living in India has no chance of FIRE like NRIs or they do not know concept of FIRE like NRIs
I am in 30s. I built everything from scratch including parents house etc. I could not save a lot in 20s for building basic necessities for our family.
I earn quite well from a salary in tier-1 tech company in in India. ( not a show off just setting context ) despite that I am no where near to average NRIs FIRE jouney ( when I say average, please dont get offended ) even NRIs living abroad specially USA working in tier-2/3 companies will comfortably outperform saving in INR almost everyone working in tier-1 companies in India.
Question 1. Does that mean, being NRI and earning in $ will always outperform. so staying in India and doing FIRE journey is just "waste of time" ? or is there any real advantage of staying in India.
Question 2. Do NRIs earning in $ realise that how much advantage they have?
Not a envy post. Please don't take it negatively. I am bit exhausted that even doing a lot of things right in life, staying in India has become quite a disadvantage.
