2 flats, ₹39,000 rent, ₹85 lakh savings: Can this Delhi couple retire early? X user asks

A Delhi-based couple, both 43 years old, is preparing to retire early within the next three to four months, as shared by financial content creator Amit Arora on X. The couple earns approximately ₹1.72 lakh per month, with the husband's salary around ₹1.5 lakh and his wife's income from tuitions at ₹22,000. They own two properties: a debt-free house valued at ₹80 lakh that generates ₹17,000 in monthly rent, and another property with a home loan providing about ₹22,000 in rental income.

Their monthly expenses are around ₹42,000, indicating a sizable passive income stream. The couple, who have no children, plans to continue working for another three to four years while their investments and rental income grow, ultimately allowing them to retire without relying on a monthly salary. This strategy underscores the importance of asset ownership and rental income in supplementing regular income during retirement, particularly in the face of inflation.
