Ahmedabad-Specific Retirement Considerations
Retiring in Ahmedabad has unique advantages and considerations. Here's what you should know:
Lower Cost of Living
Ahmedabad offers a lower cost of living compared to metros like Mumbai or Delhi. Your retirement corpus can go further here, allowing for a more comfortable lifestyle.
Healthcare Costs
Factor in healthcare inflation (typically 10-12% annually). Ahmedabad has good healthcare facilities, but medical costs will rise faster than general inflation.
Housing & Utilities
If you own your home, you'll save on rent. However, maintenance, property taxes, and utilities will continue to increase with inflation.
Lifestyle & Social Activities
Ahmedabad offers rich cultural activities, good food, and social opportunities at reasonable costs. Budget for travel, hobbies, and social engagements.
