OT: Quitting the Rat Race

[eofelis]

I really do suggest the Tightwad gazette (check the library)- it has info and life stories of people who have managed to save for all kinds of life changes. some even say how they figured out how much they needed to save to do what they wanted to do.

The Tightwad Gazette helped me out a lot!

I don't think I've actually even been in the rat race!

I'm 38, in college full time. I'm a senior and will be for 2 more years. I haven't worked a regular job for a few years now. My tuition is paid with grants and scholarships, plus I get a bit more for living expenses. I live in a 1 br apt with bf and 2 cats, and 11 bikes! I have a 1991 Subaru, it looks and runs good still. I can walk or bike to most places I need to go. No cell phone, no cable, dial up internet free through the college. I've been debt free since the early 1990s.

My goals in life are to keep it simple and to choose my responsibilities wisely.
