Hey folks,

I am planning to travel between 15th Aug to 15th Sep in India. We are family of 4 (2 children - 2 and 5 years old). I am planning to travel for a week.

Looking for places where I can travel and relax primarily kid friendly.

Can you please suggest?

Hi, I replied to a thread but my comment is only visible to me (other people don’t see it). Why is this happening and how can I fix it? I had replied over 6 months back. I cannot see those as well if I am not logged in.

Hey folks, wanted to share a milestone. I crossed $1 M milestone recently. It felt great. I usually post my updates regularly in r/FIRE_Ind but wanted to share here as well. This is the post I posted in Jan there: https://www.reddit.com/r/FIRE_Ind/comments/1q1ssee/fire_journey_34m_year_end_2025_update_1/

Following are the updates based on last 6 months. Here is mid year snapshot:

• Net Worth: ~9.45 Cr (This has been solely created by me without inheritance and only in India)

Breakdown By Country:

• India: 68.3%
• USA: 31.7%

Breakdown By Asset Type:

• Equity: 53% (47.5% in USA and 52.5% in India)
• Debt: 28.8% (PF, FD, Debt Fund)
• Real Estate: 7.9%
• Gold: 0.7%
• Liquid: 9.6%

On the Personal and Professional Front:

Work has been a bit better and less stressful in this half compared to the second half of 2025. Though the pressure has been immense with deadlines and top leadership, I decided not to take on so much stress and just work at my own pace. The reason is that I was having trouble sleeping and felt irritated most of the time, which led to a decrease in the quality time I was spending with my family.

This half, I made a conscious effort to spend good time with my children and wife. We didn't go on vacation, but I have been deliberate in making sure I am present with them.

I have been working remotely from my hometown since Covid, so I've also been thinking about moving to another city for a change of scenery. I don't have friends in the city I live in because I didn't grow up or study here—it's primarily just my family and relatives. Many times, moving to a Tier-2 city in Uttarakhand or Himachal has crossed my mind, but I haven't settled on anything. Given I have a remote job at the moment, it's hard to justify moving without a solid reason. Lately, I've been thinking about switching to an organization with a hybrid setup so I have an excuse to move to another city for a while.

2026 Goals Updates:

• Stay employed throughout the year: I have been employed so far. There were layoffs in my organization, but I survived them.
• Add an additional 1 Cr of investment: On track. Should be able to easily achieve in case I stay employed rest of year as well.
• Increase my gold allocation to 1.2-1.5% of overall net worth: On track. Have reached 0.7 and will continue to invest.
• Add additional real estate investment to get the total allocation to 7%+: Already reached. Added another real estate investment though most of the money came from my father.
• Maintain equity allocation between 60-65%: This has reduced to 53% mainly due to RSU sell and my current company stock is not doing well due to AI. But have liquid so will continue to invest more in equity but in India (unless there is a correction in US market)
• Sell some RSUs and diversify into Indian and US markets: In progress. I increased the equity weightage of Indian stocks this half by investing aggressively in March and April.
• Focus on my health and get into the habit of exercising regularly: Didn't make much progress. I started exercising, but it has paused again for now. Need to restart.
• Plan and go for 2 vacations: I am not a travel person, so this is a big deal for me. Have not yet travelled this year, but will plan this this half of year.

Thanks for reading. Happy to answer if you have any questions.

Lately, I have also been tracking the trend of my net worth over the last couple of months. This has been the trend:

Thanks for reading. Happy to answer if you have any questions.

Edit: While fixing typo, had deleted few Goal updates. so had to re-write some of those.

Edit2: Some people have raised that I have not answered questions in my previous post, but I have actually answered but not sure why it's not visible to everyone. I am also not able to see those when not logged in. So, not sure what the problem is. Feel free to ask questions and I'll be happy to answer here.

I’ve been working remotely for a while and want to try slow travel across India. The plan is to pick a new Tier 2 city, live there for a year or two, and then move on to the next.

I’m married and have two kids (ages 2 and 5).
I know the solo digital nomad thing is easy, but uprooting a family every 12 months is a different beast. I need to know if anyone has actually pulled this off in India, or if it’s a pipe dream.

Main things I need a reality check on:

Schooling for the 5yo: Do you just homeschool, or is dealing with local school admissions every year actually viable?

Infrastructure: Power cuts and bad internet are dealbreakers. I believe now all cities should have this level of infra.

Healthcare: With toddlers, finding good pediatricians fast is mandatory. Have you had issues with emergency healthcare access in smaller cities?

Social Isolation: How bad is it for the spouse and kids to reset their entire social circle and start from scratch every single year?

Looking for actual experiences, city recommendations, and harsh realities. Tell me if I'm setting myself up for a disaster.
