An H-1B techie shared a calculation on Reddit, stating that his US savings could provide a 9-year financial cushion in India without additional income.
The Redditor admitted that the figures are not entirely reliable and that an increase in the cost of living in India could disrupt the calculation.
Several Reddit users responded to the post, finding it helpful at a time when several H-1B visa holders are stranded in India amid visa policies.
The H-1B tech worker has approximately $120,000 in savings and estimated his living expenses in Bengaluru to be around ₹1 lakh per month.
He discovered that his remaining funds could sustain him for nearly 9 years in India, even if he does not earn any income during that period.
