Thanks for your suggestion guys, the only thing I'm worried about is the future cost of higher education for my kids. Since it's going to happen in the next 10-15 years I cannot anticipate the cost.

Homeschool them buddy, you'll be home anyways. Indian school system is shit, much better to homeschool these days.

no please. Kids learn a lot by interacting with other kids. The best answer is to make them join an average school with no strict attendance and teach them yourself after school instead of tuition

Easily. Buy some farm land and eat healthy food and enjoy worry free life. My plan is also to do the same

I think its way better than most of us. You can retire if you really want to.

How is investment of some part of total investments in gold as a hedge? Is it worth to keep something in gold just for case of emergency or need arises when stocks are going low or negative.

Fair point, currently invested in sgb but very less compared to overall portfolio both stock and non stock. Might increase in gold by investing more in sgb
