I am 35, with a net-worth of 715K (625K in stocks and 75K in 401K, 15K in cash). Other than this, I have a few investments in India around 10 lakhs or below.

I am divorced - don’t have kids and pay a rent of USD 2740 (which includes parking, but not utilities) in 1B1B, living in Seattle. I drive an economy car which is fully paid for. I’ve been working at Amazon for 8+ years (technical PM), of which 5+ years have been in the USA (L1A). I am making 280K in 2026, and will make ~290K in 2027 as per my CTC plan.

I am due for an EAD by end of year, and green card perhaps in 1.5 years (Mar ‘24 PD in EB1). I look to stay in USA long term.

Once I have my EAD or Green Card, I am flexible to move to elsewhere, provided I get a decent job (though I absolutely love Seattle).

How am I doing financially on a scale of 1 to 5 for my age and stage of career?

What net worth do I need to retire in India or USA (remote location) for a very basic living standard?

I am wondering if I should invest in a house - and if yes should I get a townhome around 650K-700K or a single family home which is 1MM (with better appreciation)? If buying one is advisable, what’s a good down payment to go for?

Given how predictable WWE has been and existing teases, looks like the main events for WM43 at Saudi are likely going to be:

⁠1. Roman vs Seth (story writes itself)

2. Punk vs Cody for WWE Undisputed C’shop

3. Gunther vs Oba (c) for WHC.

Alternatively if The Rock chooses to cash in for Saudi’s love for old timers he might choose to work withe Reigns (possibly putting him over as The Tribal Chief) in which case Seth would likely face a younger star like Bron in a grudge match.

The Rock can make a killing from the match, but looking at the shape that he is in and unwillingness to show up it is unlikely.
