The essence of Indian life

The essence of Indian life

What does it mean to retire at the age of 45? Must be married before the age of 25. Children must be born by age 26. Children must be continuing higher education by the age of 45.

A lot of people who meet me talk a lot about retiring at this age of 45. This is abbreviated as FIRE. That is to say, Finance Independence and Retire Early are the acronym of the initials. It is a good acronym. It's like a fire in the name of FIRE.

There are a lot of difficulties in making this possible in Indian life. Many people over the age of 30 are getting married here. People who got married at the age of 35 to 40 are all here. After that the baby should be born.

It was not same in the present days of birth of babies in the past period. Getting married this year and having a baby next year does not happen immediately. The number of children born five or six years after marriage is now on the rise. Babies born after ten years of marriage is also happen. The birth of a child is also delayed as everything in Indian life is delayed.

This is how children go to school when parents are 45 years old. It is a time to spend more on education. In the meanwhile, various loans such as home loan and personal loan will come together differently. The separate flow to repay these debts will go in a separate path.

If you can think of retirement at the age of 50 - 55 it will be a time to give children a future. If you are over the age of 58 and still in government service, the government will give you a retirement and send you home. If it is a non-government job then there is no rest in Indian life till death. Death is the only rest. Economic necessities snatched away from time to time and only run until the end when death comes and rests.

That's right! What is it like to retire before the age of 45 and die without tensions or frustrations? The essence of Indian life lies in death with these kind of tensions and frustrations. So there is no such thing as retirement in Indian life. The negative saying of retirement cannot be let into Indian life. It is unique in the way it refers to Indian life by the term ‘mukti’.
