When do you suggest moving to Mumbai feasible?

and at what family income? Family in question here is in their late thirties with an 8 to kid and a 68 yo father. Will be leaving behind a comfortable own house in a city with no growth. Husband and wife are into VC and Media industries.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what 2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them 3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even. Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me. But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

TCS

Rural Life Experience.

I was suffering from 2-3 mild health issues in metro. (prolonged cold n cough, regular sneezing etc) Came home ЁЯПб in diwali and now extended wfh due to health gain. Living with parents and consuming clean air + food is helping improve my sleep quality as well тЭдя╕ПтАНЁЯй╣ (2h+ deep sleep) 8h continuous sleep. I did cost benifit analysis and have decided to work on a plan which will eventually help me settle down at my birthplace within 2-5y. synopsis -- Children's play under sun ЁЯМЮ and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos. They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone. My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees ЁЯМ┤ even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river. Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn ЁЯХКя╕П about future and enjoy the present. Very less car and almost 0 traffic тЫФ. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages. Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am. Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here. Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city. Society is ambivert. Pizza ЁЯНХ ЁЯНФ burger biryani is trying to enter these areas. But I don't miss swiggy. Zeptonis redundant here. My ЁЯТ│ credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it... рдпрд╣рд╛рдБ рдХреЛрдИ рдорд┐рддреНрд░ рдирд╣реАрдВ рд╣реИ, рдХреЛрдИ рдЖрд╢реНрд╡рд╕реНрдд рдЪрд░рд┐рддреНрди рдирд╣реАрдВ рд╣реИ, рд╕рдм рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рд╣реИред рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рдЗрдорд╛рд░рддреЗрдВ рд╣реИрдВ, рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рдмрдЪреНрдЪреЛрдВ рдХрд┐ рд╢рд░рд╛рд░рддреЗрдВ рд╣реИрдВ, рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рдЬрд╝рд┐рдиреНрджрдЧреА рдХрд┐ рд╢рд░реНрддреЗ рд╣реИрдВ, рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рдЬреАрд╡рди рдкрд╛рдиреЗ рдХреЗ рд▓рд┐рдП рд▓реЛрдЧ рд░реЛрдЬрд╝ рдпрд╣рд╛рдБ рдорд░рддреЗ рд╣реИрдВред рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рд╣реИ рдпрд╣рд╛рдБ рдХреЗ рдкреНрд░реЗрдорд┐рдпреЛрдВ рдХрд╛ рдкреНрдпрд╛рд░, рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд рд╣реИ рдпрд╣рд╛рдБ рдордиреБрд╖реНрдпреЛрдВ рдХреЗ рдЬреАрд╡рди рдХреЗ рдЖрдзрд╛рд░ рдЖрдЬ рдХрд╛ рджрд┐рди рдЕрд░реНрдзрдирд┐рд░реНрдорд┐рдд
