An Indian student completing his Master's degree in Indiana has stirred conversation on social media after expressing his intention to return to India despite securing a lucrative job offer of $120,000 (around ₹1.12 crore) in Austin, Texas. In a Reddit post, he shared his struggles with depression and a desire to save money before returning home, particularly as he still owes $40,000 in education loans. Many users responded with advice, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being and financial stability over aggressive savings goals. Some shared personal experiences, suggesting that while saving a substantial amount is possible, it often requires frugality and a focus on enjoying life in the U.S. before making any drastic decisions. The student is seeking realistic estimates on how much he could save in the next 3-4 years to gauge whether his goal of saving between ₹1 crore to ₹1.5 crore is feasible.
