Rat Race Exit Strategies

There are 3 main practices to use when aiming to exit the rat race as quickly as possible:

Develop avenues of passive income – these include such income streams as dividends from stock or mutual fund investments, royalties, rental income, pension plans & variants, etc. The central idea here is that you do not have to spent energy to realize the income.

Develop strategies to protect asset-base against inflation – the main idea here is to invest in areas were the returns are proven to beat inflation over time.

Minimize expenses – these include planning to own assets that you use on a daily basis (as opposed to renting them), minimizing subscription style expenses (taxes?) of all kinds, etc.

The next series of articles go into details of each of these areas.
