Regarding garbage; there are plenty of places in India with pristine beauty you can enjoy with the networth you have made and given your leetcoding skills, you are already better than 99.99% of Indians. So you can live pretty much like a king in India, whether you want to work or not, rather than be a loser in north america.
Watch this wint wealth video a retired military officer with meagre salary managed to retire early in 40s and now plays golf in the backyard of his sprawling estate.

I follow that channel
Yes, there are pristine pockets in India, but they seem to rural for me. I like the amenities of big cities (like events, friend circle, advanced gyms, physios, etc). So basically, I would want to live in places like South Bombay or Bandra. In North America, there are plenty of cheaper urban places.
It is much cheaper for me to buy an apartment in North American cities than it is in SoBo. Go lookup the prices yourself and compare apples to apples (building quality, amenities and surroundings).
Then go and look at price of cars in US vs India. We have been through all of this in the old forum. India is cheap only for lower middle class lifestyle. Upper middle class and above, its more expensive than North America.
If you are following youtube channels, follow the Coda real estate channel. 90% of listings there are 15 cr and above. And they dont look impressive at all. This 'live like a king' is a myth that needs to die. Kings in India are bitten by stray dogs.
