‘Escape the rat race’ is an idiomatic expression phrase that means ‘leave a job or way of life in which people compete endlessly and aggressively with each other to be successful in life. Research has actually shown that the phrase has gained the meaning of ‘competitive struggle’. Generally speaking, if one is trapped in a lifestyle in which an individual works excessively to earn a living, then such a person is said to be caught up in a meaningless rat race. In a laboratory scientists control rats in mazes. So, individuals who are entangled in a rat race are being controlled by outside forces, i.e. the pressures of contemporary business and society. Therefore, the theme of this blog post of mine implies that many people view work as an interminable purposeless race: a cyclical commute between home and work, which can be viewed as a rat running in circles or in a hamster’s wheel.
What Is The Rat Race?
The rat race is actually a phrase that describes the futile pursuit of humans engagement in order to get ahead financially. Some people understand the rat race to mean working 60 to 70 hours per week to enable them afford going for vacation perhaps for two weeks during the year. Then for others, the rat race could mean spending their lives working in a company for a job they hate. In fact, those in the rat race often feel exhausted. They always feel unfulfilled and stretched beyond measure. They hardly have adequate time to spend their lives how and with whom they choose to. And it’s a huge concern to them because they can never save enough money to feel comfortable as they’re living the rat race.
How To Get Out Of The Rat Race
Firstly, you must have a goal, and also write it down. If you truly want to escape the rat race, you need to know why. You need to be able to state your reason(s) clearly so that in case things get tough, your motivation will keep you going. You need to write down your value-based goals. By doing so, it will clarify your vision for your life and cement your goals on paper. When your goals are documented you can post them somewhere in your home, so that it can serve as a constant reminder of what you’re working toward and why. Some people like to post their goals near their bathroom mirror since that’s the first place they go to get ready for the day. They also post their goals in their offices so they can see them when they’re working.
Track Your Spending
Secondly, it will do you real good if you can track your spending for several reasons. For example, tracking your spending helps you to know exactly what your monthly expenses are and how much income you’ll need to generate so you can escape the rat race. People who are desperately looking forward to escaping the rat race typically need to think of ways to generate “passive” income. Passive income means that you don’t have to constantly trade your time for money. If you can figure out a plan to generate enough passive income to fund your monthly expenses, you’re well on your way to getting out of the rat race.
Cut Your Expenses
Thirdly, tracking your spending can also provide clarity on ways to cut back your expenses. Sometimes, all you have to do is think more creatively. For instance, find frugal ways to save money such as automating your savings etc. You can find ways to reduce expenses and save money even if you’re on a tight budget. Cutting your expenses is one of the best ways to get out of the rat race faster.
Increase Your Income
Fourthly, create multiple sources of income. Increasing your income mustn’t be glamorous, but it can be life-changing. Starting a small business – is an excellent way to increase your income. You can even invest your savings, although it’s quite unfortunate that you can’t just save your way out of the rat race. The reason being, the impact of inflation means that cash sitting in a bank account is actually losing value…
Automation
Lastly, it does pay to invest money wisely into legit and profitable automated systems. Such systems can be said to be the creation and application of technology that could produce and deliver goods and services with minimal human intervention. In this modern day era with vast technological innovations, the implementation of automation technology techniques and processes improve the efficiency, reliability, and speed of many tasks that were previously performed by humans.

Hi, Sarah-Louise
Thank you for these helpful tips on how to get out of the rat race.
You can see I am a loyal follower of your blog.
I agree with you that having a clear goal and also knowing our “why” are very important to keep motivated.
In fact they are the reference point for all our decisions and actions everyday.
I liked the idea of starting a Small business. And this is what I want to do on the side of my day job right now.
Do you have any legit platform where I can have access to education and tools to build a striving online business on the side?
Though it can be a great and safest way for me to ditch from my corporate job to work on my own terms over time.
Thank you again for this helpful article.

This is a very informative and knowledgeable post. Thank you for sharing your information with everyone. There are a couple of things that I picked up on. I think that it can be very difficult to escape the rat race at times, especially at younger ages (20s-40s). I find myself in this situation right now as I work multiple jobs to save in order to one day get out of the rat race. The problem is the endless cycle, especially in America where education is so expensive, of needing more education, only to gain your degree and then be told you don’t have enough experience. I have a Master’s Degree, but not enough experience to gain more money in my field. The problem with then getting more education is of course more debt. Then working to gain the experience necessary to move up to a higher role or another position. Then needing to work longer hours to pay off the debt accumulated from you r degree….and the cycle continues. I do think that the tips you provided are indeed helpful and should be used in order to assist in breaking this cycle society (especially capitalistic society) wants us to think cannot be broken. This cycle drives us to work endless exhausting hours. I do think that having a goal is important, and hanging it up in a place where one can see every day was one of my favorite things you pointed out. This way you can be reminded of where you want to go, not of where you currently are.
Again, thank you for sharing such an inspiring and informative blog.
Stay blessed,
Obioma
Hi Obioma, firstly, I would like to acknowledge the compliment. That is right! Yes, it is difficult to escape the rat race at times, but if you have a goal, nothing can hold you down from realising your financial dream. However, it will take determination and discipline to be free from being engulfed in the rat race. Nowadays, due to technological advancements even those within the age range of 20-40 years, have opted in to earning cashflow with automated legit and proven systems and are making profits Monday-Friday on autopilot. I mean making money without sweating. Did you know that in one of my FX Bot Trading businesses, my head coach is a 20-year-old young man!? Warren Buffet reveals that, “if you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.” So, the choice of maximisation of wealth on automation is entirely yours to make.
Thank you so very much indeed for your detailed comment.
I will see you at the top!
Cos the bottom is way overcrowded.
Cheers🥂😎👊
This is such an insightful and inspiring post, especially because it can be so easy to get caught up in the rat race and lose sight of what your true goals are.
