A " rat race " is a term used for an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit.
***The increased image of work as a “rat race” in modern times has led many to question their own attitudes to work and seek a better alternative – A more harmonious Work-Life balance. ***
Many believe that long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful jobs, time spent commuting, less time for family life and/or friends life, has led to a generally unhappier workforce/population unable to enjoy the benefits of increased economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.
So my question is how does one ESCAPE THE RAT RACE ?
What are the "ALTERNATIVES " ?
***For those who are still part of it and I suppose most still are what keeps you going ? ***
Buy lotto tickets. When you hit it big, go out to the wilds of Wyoming and buy a big ranch. Produce your own food, hire teachers to come in for the kids, host "rancher getaway" packages.
Those who have millions worry more than those who have hundreds !
Those who run before money are foolish , just foolish , get naked on airports , dogs sniffing , cell phone history being checked , trousers being taken off , shoes being thrown off but thier hawis never dies

How do you keep yourself from being burnt out ?
simple..do something you are passionate about.
if you are not passionate about ,what you are doing, then find something else..
u will even get stressed and burnt out doing the things you have a passion for..not just work, but family, kids..and for that a couple days break from whatever is burning you out helps.
Money is something one has to worry about , cost of daily living !
However I guess if one realizes what would make one happy and what one can live without then one can probably escape the rat race
For how long ?
Loneliness is the ultimate form of punishment , humans are made to crave interaction otherwise solitary confinement would not be used as a form of punishment !
Yes one can probably give up “worldliness” but one cannot give up living !
Well I have in essence tried doing exactly that .
However like Firenze said these decisons have financial consequences so after a while you have to re-enter the same ol’ grind which is what I wish to avoid.
I guess the answer lies in knowing what is enough for you and which lifestyle is acceptable to you .
