Are NRIs really rich? Here’s the honest truth about life abroad.
In this video, we uncover the real NRI financial reality — salaries, taxes, housing, savings, and the cost of living abroad.

Everyone back home thinks NRIs are living the dream — big salaries, luxury homes, foreign cars.
But is life abroad really that rich?
If you’ve ever wondered whether moving abroad actually makes you wealthier, this video will give you the full picture — with numbers, lived experience, and a few home truths.

We’ll cover:
💰 Salary differences between India and the UK
🏠 The real cost of living abroad
💸 How much NRIs actually save
🧾 Taxes, housing, and long-term wealth
💭 Why the “rich NRI” image is often an illusion

I’ve lived in the UK since 2016, and I’ve seen both sides — the comforts and the costs, the perks and the pressure.
So, before you decide if life abroad is “worth it,” watch this to the end. You might see the NRI life a little differently.
