Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Getting out of the rat race is simple, but not necessarily easy.

To escape, all you need is monthly income — from non-job sources — that exceeds your monthly expenses.

For example, if you spend $3000 a month, you’ll need to bring in at least $3000 (after taxes) outside of your day job.

Simple, but not always easy.

In this episode, I’ll break down:

• the most common rat race “escape routes”
• the pros and cons of each
• how to choose the right path for you

Ready? Let’s do it!
