We Left Everything And Retired In The Hills | Peace Is Priority.

Can you really retire at 45 with just ₹1 crore? Amit Chilka, an HR professional, did exactly that. After spending over two decades in corporate HR roles, he left his full-time job, moved from Pune to Dehradun, and reduced his monthly expenses from nearly ₹1.5 lakh to around ₹50,000. But here’s the important part most people miss. He is not simply living off his ₹1 crore corpus. His investments in mutual funds, PPF, NPS and child education fund are still compounding. His regular expenses are covered through consulting, coaching and leadership retreats. So, this is not the typical “retire early and do nothing” story. It is a story about financial planning, lower expenses, debt-free living, skill-based income, and designing a life where money gives you freedom not pressure His website: https://amitchilka.com/ Viram retreat: https://pauseandarrive.com/viram-4-da... -- Few corrections in the video: Amit worked in Syntel and not Singtel. He worked in Synergist Consulting from 2014 - 2021 and not 2012 -2019. -------------------- Timestamps 00:00 - 00:45 - Do Not Chase FIRE 00:45 - 03:57 - Life In Dehradun 03:57 - 05:15 - Early Life and First Salary 05:15 - 05:50 - I Did Not Chase FIRE 05:50 - 07:18 - FIRE Framework 07:18 - 07:55 - Portfolio Allocation 07:55 - 12:08 - Trigger To Retire 12:08 - 12:47 - Investment Journey 12:47 - 13:16 - Current Income 13:16 - 17:15 - Struggles In Real Estate 17:15 - 20:53 - Why Dehradun? 20:53 - 22:49 - I Quit Rat Race Tune in for practical investment advice that anyone can apply, whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your existing portfolio.
