“Life abroad is cheaper, cleaner”: The financial advisor in Thailand, Vietnam, Eastern Europe says 30 % lower than India

For many Indians, life comes in the metro such as Mumbai or Delhi with familiar amenities – family networks, cultural roots, job opportunities – but also high costs, suffocation pollution, and infrastructure. Outside, especially in parts of Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, the barters can look different: cleaner air, the best urban living levels, and in some cases, even low expenses.

This tension between staying in India and moving abroad has been restored by the Sherfastava, the founder of Haksh, who argued in a virus publication (officially Twitter) that Indians often exaggerate the estimation of the cost of living abroad.

“Most people in India believe that living abroad is expensive. Frankly, not. If you live in places like Thailand, Vietnam, Georgia, and some parts in Eastern Europe-this will be at least 20-30 % cheaper than the Indian metro, with at least 3x food better quality, air, etc.“ Shrivastava books.

He also suggested that aggressive nationalism over the Internet – what he described as “Twitter diplomatic campaigns” – was destroying India’s global reputation and restricting opportunities for skilled Indians who seek to move abroad.

Internet users are pushed with nuances

I drew after sharp reactions with users who provide both support and opposite points.

One of the users objected to the Shrivastava claim of the ability to withstand costs, and writing: “Not completely true. Cultural roots, family support and opportunities estimated by most Indians. “

Another user has taken a data -backed approach, pointing to the trends of mixed costs: “Hanoi is 12 % cheaper than Mumbai in general (thanks to low rental costs and dining). But Bangkok runs about 37 % more expensive in the same lifestyle.

The third fears of Sriffastava repeated, “Many Indians do not realize that cities in Thailand, Vietnam or Eastern Europe can be 20-30 % cheaper than Mumbai or Delhi, with cleaner air and better quality of life.
