Can I quit with 1.2 cr savings at 35?
So, Ive spent over 13 years in IT. Saved 1.2 cr in FDs, NPS,PPF,PF and mutual funds. Around 15 tola gold il that Inbougt. I am tired and I want to quit and be a full time mother. But my husband is unwilling to support me financially and I carry my own expenses till date. Is the corpus enough to support my 6 year childs education? I am considering separating from my husband because of toxic abuse. Just want to make sure that my childs future is secure if I quit now.I just need a break to enjoy motherhood, managing work and child both together has effected my mental and physical health. I am willing to work 1 more year if required, post which I want a slow peaceful life. Please advice. No real estate till now, its difficult to for me to do all the paper work and house hunting alone.

You have 1.2 Cr and want your husband to support you financially... Imagine a guy saying "I have 1.2 Cr and want my wife to support me financially"
I earned that money coz he did not support me financially(not even groceries even after earning 5x)I started with 22k PM and now I earn 2.2 Lakh per month. Imagine the guy “ I have 5 cr and want my wife to keep working while taking care of child and give me her money”

Are you looking for separation from your husband? Because together or not, the child's expenses are to be borne by both of you.
1.2cr in savings is not much to stop working altogether. Inflation will soon start catching up with you. At some point, you need to start working again - not only to earn but also to stay occupied. But yeah, your corpus definitely gives you cushion to take a nice career break.
Got it. Will try to take up a low pressure job in next 1-2 years once I reach 1.5 cr corpus then.

On another note, my husband has taken around 50L from me till now, I have the evidence of online transfer. Is there any chance to get it back once we separate? I don’t want a long court battle as I cant go on multiple hearings( I wamt a closure soon)
Sorry to hear this. Btw given how screwed the Indian laws are, you can demand way more than that, so definitely you should get your money back. And appreciate your moral values and hard work.
I think you need more money to retire, and by retirement do you mean till the time your son/daughter start working? Any parental backup?
Good luck to you in future.
I have spent far more on my wife. Although we're doing great, this thought of my money versus his money sounds completely toxic.
Have a fresh start. Money will come. Have sound values first

Poor in finances but i can say 6lakh per annum you can earn with FD with that 1.2cr min, so assuming your child fee for school is 1lakh, you will have 40-45k per month with you, comfortable enough if you dont wanna save even single penny for your kids further studies. I mean you could if you live normal life 20k per month and 20k savings. 1bhk-15k and food and other expenses -5k.
20k savings for 14yrs - 28-35lakhs may be. I believe if you are planning for your kids studies in india it will be enough. May not be costly colleges but normal yes.
This calculation may be wrong but just a thought.
