US man finds love in Goa after moving to India to escape inflation and start a business
A US citizen, Elliot Rosenberg left his country 12 years ago to build a business escaping the high-rate inflation. However, he settled in Goa after finding love during his quest to fulfil his dreams of establishing his own business. He has been living in India for nine years.
Elliot Rosenberg, a financial consultant, currently runs two businesses, handles two US-based clients and earns in Dollars. Rosenberg said that he met his wife in India and learned Hindi.
Taking to social media, Rosenberg acknowledged his lifestyle and the freedom he enjoys which wouldn't have been possible if 'everything' wasn't cheaper in India than in the US.
Taking to the professional social networking platform LinkedIn, Rosenberg wrote, "I made a rare financial decision 12 years ago. And it has changed my finances (and life) forever. Most personal finance gurus tell you to budget your expenses, invest and hold long-term, and build multiple streams of income. Then, you achieve: (F)financial (I)independence (R)retire (E)early. I’m on board with all of these things. The only problem? America is sh*t expensive!" (sic)
Further, he stated that though inflation was bad in the US, lifestyle inflation was worse.
After graduation, Rosenberg decided to leave the country. He bought a one-way ticket to Brazil. A couple of years later, he travelled across 17 countries in Asia for 15 months nonstop. He funded a lot of the expenses during his travel from his credit card points.
In 2016, he moved to India where he met his soulmate.
Rosenberg penned, "I met my wife here, became close to her family, learned Hindi, have made lifelong bonds, and started two businesses. Last year, we moved to a beach town where on any given weekend we surf, go to potlucks, or hike in the jungles. The lifestyle and freedom I have wouldn’t be possible if everything weren’t 80 per cent cheaper here." (sic)
Further, he shared a list of their major monthly expenses. He also added that though there are some downsides of living abroad, he is 'Fully adjusted and happy here'.
"We don’t stress about money, and we each get to take risks without fear in running our own businesses (serving US-based clients who pay us in dollars).... I’m still happily a US citizen and still visit the US once a year. I love America and have no plans to surrender my passport," wrote Rosenberg. (sic)
