How you can afford to drop out of the rat race

Every summer, as I lie in a deckchair with a cool drink by my side, I find myself fantasising what it would be like to live like this, not just for my two or three weeks’ annual holiday, but for rest of my life.
Of course, it wouldn’t be two weeks of doing absolutely nothing, to be sure. A holiday is totally different from what life would really be like if we weren’t chained to a desk and a mortgage.
But the notion of dropping out of the rat race, of changing our lifestyles and doing something that perhaps we have always wanted to do remains a powerful one.
So how can you go about achieving this goal? The most important thing to realise is that leaving the rat race is a journey. You are leaving one dimension and moving to another.
In the process you will discover new things about yourself.
Here are 10 tips to help you on your way.
1. Decide what you want to do – and what you don’t
For example, you may no longer wish to work six days a week. What would you like to do instead?
Many people just want to escape their jobs and fail to envision how they will fill their days once that job is gone. Make sure you\'re clear about what you really want to do.
It helps to do this because it then defines your goals and gives you something to aim for.
At this stage, it is also vital that you step back a minute and think about the consequences of giving up your work.
Your job may stress you out, but it probably gives you a lot more back than you think – and we aren’t talking just about money.
It may keep you intellectually challenged, surround you with a community of people or provide you with your primary identity.
