Cost of living

Say you make 15-20 lac/yr you have a better lifestyle than someone who makes 100-120k/yr in US

If you make 7-8 lac/yr in India you have a better lifesytle than someone who makes 50k/yr in US

If you make 2-3 lac/yr in India you have a better lifestyle than someone who makes 30k/yr in US

Anyone wants break downs for both, I can give it 😉

If you take someone who makes 100k/yr in US and compare their lifestyle with someone who is making 2-3 lac/yr that is wrong and not an apples to apples comparision.


salaries of 7-30 lac/yr in India are as common in India as are salaries of 100-200k/yr

About pollution/poverty there are equivalents everywhere, compare one intangible with other is impossible

hmm....well i dont think it will be easy to adjust to "back home" living!...whether u like it or nt... epecially if u dont like it..lol.. 😆

i dnt know abt india.... bt i can say a little something abt pak...since im paki.... first of all i wasnt born here... i was born in OMAN... thts where my mom is from....

i wudnt want to live in pak at all...it wud be a nightmare for me....

there are many reasons... and i can only say whtever i hear....bcos i havent been there for like more than a decade.... bt i know tht businesses open at 12:00.... ppl go out reallly reallly late at night.... in fact they do everything late...

now im nt saying tht no one is ever late in the US... bt i can gurantee u tht no one opens up their businesses (i mean offices) at 12:00....

bt ppl do go out at night here as well...which is fine here... bt i dont think it shud be like tht there.... it is after all a muslim country...now tht doesnt mean tht they shud be deprived of everything....bt seriously wht are they doing out so late at night.... i mean here ppl go out to clubs!!....whts going on there???

and everyone is really really lazy.... now i cant speak for every paki....bt im just talking abt the ppl i know who live there..... i mean the guys come back from work and they just demand tht they want food...and this and tht ..... and the ladies do absolutely nothing at home... they sit at home all day... doing nothing... nt even housework.... i have no prob with housewives... thts a BIG job...and BIG responsibility ... bt if someone actually does something then its BIG.... bt i mean like they have servants for cleaning....for laundry... for dishes...to make chapptis, and parathas... i mean thts just sad....

anyway....bt im dying to see my family....thts the only thing good abt it there... if my family was here... i wudnt want to go there at all....

and now abt OMAN... i have a totally different perspective abt tht place....well nt totally bt still different...lol

they are lazier thn here.. i think.... i mean my uncle just went there for vacation.... this year after a decade... and he loved it bcos of family bt he said tht ppl are soo lazy there...

so i really wudnt mind living in oman....its waayyy different than pak.....Pakistan has a lot of potential if the ppl and govt want it!!!

bt then again.....i wudnt want to live in a lot of places.... nt only "back home"....

hey yAar , ppl, go abraod,for the money sake, i beleive!!

family n all ki yaad to aati hi hai, it's obvious..!!

when u really need ur family or when ur family needs u, then u r not there, that's the biggest drawback..!!

but when u see it the other way, life styles abroad, i mean when i am talkin then i have only one place in mind(australia),lifestyles are very different, sp.from india,but the difference can be easily distinguished!!

earning money...!!that's what is the moto of the pplz abroad, and all those ppl, who hv the same moto,only go to settle at such places...
then environment is much better outside...india/pak.
a serene working experience, a perso who loves to spend most of his tyme alone,shud realy opt for settling abroad, as that's what u get....a lotta time for urself, only!!

That is also very true. People do go to other countries for the sake of money. They want to make much as they can and then move to India and live a happy life with the money that they made.

my parents came to canada for me n m sister's future not for money because we had enough in india.. i think canada is a better country .. the thing is that my parents love india is because none of our relative lives here.. i don't miss india because i don't remember that much stuff... don't know how much money they've spent but it really doesn't matter cause now we're very happy in canada... i don't know the big differences or the politics stuff but if u've lived in canada for more than three then i think u'll feel canada is a better country
