Other important point is that Mr. George maintains a small real estate footprint and has nothing “invested” in a poorly appreciating single family home.

I did the math and realized that after a couple of years of saving I could easily go back to India and retire if I wanted to.

Filing a return (of some type) is required for people (US citizens or not) who claim US residency. That might include not being required to file a return but rather to notify the IRS (on their form–whatever it is) that you were not a “resident of the US” (per IRS rules) for that year. Talk to a tax pro who specializes in this area. Worth every penny spent.
