‘Earn in dollars, spend in rupees’: The reason American woman ditches US, moves to India with family
When most Indians are desperate to settle abroad for a better quality of life, a woman’s decision to leave the US to live an “extraordinary life" here has taken the internet by storm.
Kristen Fischer, a US-born influencer, moved to India four years ago with her family to ditch her basic lifestyle in the US.
Fischer shares her lifestyle and experience of living in India through her Instagram posts.
Her videos often feature the vibrant colours and aesthetic chaos of the country.
In a recent viral video, Fischer shared why she chose to live in India and operate her business from there.
Kristen and her husband are web developers. With a business based in India, they still have mostly Western clients. Hence, they earn in dollars and spend in rupees.
“It is simply easier for someone from the West to move to a place like India because our money goes further here, and it is a much easier environment to succeed in business," she wrote in the caption of her video.
Kristen further added that this way, they also get to live in a country they love, “seems like a win-win situation."
The video received a lot of admiration from users on Instagram; “so happy for you all," read a comment under her video, while another said, “So many benefits to living in India! Love life here; the people and culture are better than the US too."
