Alternative way out of the rat race:
  1. Live below means
  2. Start investing early
  3. Pick basic low cost mutual funds
  4. Don't freak out and sell when the market drops
  5. Wait for compounding interest to work its magic
  6. Retire
That was the plan my wife and I zeroed in at at 25. The original goal was retire at 40. We missed it by a few years but unless the economy tanks in the next few years we will retire at 45.
