Escape the rat race

Hi

Welcome to my blog - Escape the 9 - 5!

As this is my first post I thought I would introduce myself and explain the theme of my blog.

I am a thirty something female living in Britain. I work in the legal profession. I work as a locum. I think the equivalent in the US is a contracts or temporary attorney.

I am married, have no children and don't want any.

Why do I want to escape the 9 - 5? Simply, I want to escape the rat race and retire or semi retire early. Work dictates so many rules about the way we have to live our lives. I want to be free of this.

I started this blog to chart my journey to financial independence and hopefully my escape of the 9 - 5. It would also be nice to meet some like minded individuals along the way!
