Determined to escape the rat race....

[Greg W.]

You're 35 years old. You have 2 young kids (ages 1 and 3.) You are the sole breadwinner in the family. You leave the house at 6:00am and return at 7:00pm because you fight LA traffic every day. You don't yet own a home, but you have $20,000 you can invest and a burning desire to start clawing ones way out of the rat race so you can actually experience living again. What do you do? What DO you do? Any and all investing tips are appreciated. I gotta make this happen...
