You can walk away from the treadmill.......and still have cash, security, and not die from a healthcare issue. Live below your means, save, invest, and then move somewhere nice but with a lower cost of living (Costa Rica, Panama, and Uruguay are my short list).

This will not happen if you live somewhere paying $3K/month for a studio though ;)

Just run faster that's the ticket.

You can also just get off. Lower your spending and you don't need to work a full time job 48 weeks a year.

ex: If you want to live in a cabin in the woods, the forst service pays some people to watch for fires in some really remote areas.
