Moving abroad dilemma

Guys so a little background. I am currently 22. Single child. And I am doing a job in Bangalore. I recently got my greencard for USA along with my parents. This presents me with an amazing opportunity to create a life in the USA. But one thing that keeps bothering me is that my parents would have to live here alone. They are around 50.

My dad suggests that I try for sometime in the USA and if I am happy I can continue, otherwise I can come back. But lets say I try for 5 years. I will be 27. Wouldn't it be too late to come back to India as I would have created a life in USA already and would be most probably be ready for marriage at that time and that demands a bit of stability.

Please give your advice. It would help a lot.

Bro just go. You're too young to let this thinking affect your decision. The great thing is you'll always have the option to come back, but the opportunity to go there no strings attached is incredibly rare these days. Your parents will be fine, I imagine they're relatively young, still working and will manage things for themselves. Get the life experience while you don't have heft responsibilities!
