I didnt get to choose the country I was born In
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and I don’t know if others feel the same.
The only reason I’m okay paying taxes and grinding as hard as I do is because it gives me the ability to earn more—and hopefully create a real generational shift for my family.
My goal isn’t just “success” in the usual sense. It’s much more specific than that.
I want to put my child in the best possible school I can afford. Not just academically strong, but one that gives real exposure—different cultures, ways of thinking, problem-solving, communication. I don’t want him boxed into one system or mindset like we Millenials have been.
The end goal is simple: I want him to have the kind of education and exposure where he isn’t limited by geography. Where moving abroad, working globally, and building a life outside India is a natural option—not a struggle.
Maybe this sounds harsh, but I don’t see long-term quality of life here improving at the pace I’d want for him. So instead of hoping the system changes, which it wont in our lifetime, I’m trying to optimize within it.
Earn more. Invest more. Spend intentionally on education and exposure.
If that eventually gives him the ability to choose where he wants to live and build his life—then all of this feels worth it.
