Alternative way out of the rat race:
- Live below means
- Start investing early
- Pick basic low cost mutual funds
- Don't freak out and sell when the market drops
- Wait for compounding interest to work its magic
- 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.
