My FI Journey - hit a personal milestone today
M36 - living in tier 1 city with wife and 5 year old child. I am FI but no intention of RE for now.
Found this subreddit discussions and post very useful and informative.
Journey:
I did my undergrad in India and right after that went to the US to pursue my masters.
Lived and worked for more than a decade abroad - Initial few years in US and then moved to UK . Mostly Fintech companies and banks.
Moved back to India in 2024, worked in a GCC for 2 years and left the job recently. I personally could not adjust to Indian workplace politics and bad work-life balance.
Corpus/Assets:
5Cr in an Indian brokerage account.
60L in FD and corporate bonds.
Have a decent chunk of money abroad - UK brokerage and pension account. I plan to fund my kid's higher education using this money.
I have my own house and am currently staying in it.
Future plan:
I plan to pursue a PHD in CS. I really want to go deep in my field and contribute in whatever way I can.
Wanted to know if someone is pursuing a PHD after FI and how is it going so far.
just crossed 5Cr in my demat account :-).
