Rat Race is a term used to describe a frustrating, hard-to-break financial lifestyle. It is a lifestyle that is lived by countless people, oblivious to the very nature of it, to a degree that even when called upon, vehemently deny it.
To summarize the Rat Race, It involves subjecting one's self to a time-consuming job, saddling one's self with heavy mortgages/rents, bills, children, and liabilities, forcing the individual to continue busting his or her ass at that same job. The illusion that working at the same job will be better bars off alternatives.
It is also a misconception that getting more money will solve financial distress, but those who subject themselves most voluntarily to the race, just spend more and more, digging themselves the same hole. "I'm not interested in money." They will say. If they aren't, then why are they thanklessly toiling their lives away and constantly bitching about their financial scarcity?
It involves a variable combonation of self-induced fear of poorness, a lack of choice, horrible spending habits, or the inability to adapt to the new changes in the work force taking place during the time of this definition entry.
There exists many options for financial gain and exit of the rat race. Remember, the definition of insanity also entails doing the same thing over and over again, in an attempt to make things change.
~ My father is well educated and works a decent paying job, but gets taxed through the nose as he busts his ass for 60 hours a week. He claims to not like money, but his hairs have gone from financial stress. He's forever stuck in the rat race.
~ My mother married a shitty man and had three kids, myself included. She let the man handle all of the expenses, and eventually she got dropped cold turkey. While trying to fight for child support, she had no choice but to enter the rat race at her older age. We did too, when we started becoming adults.

The funniest movie ever, including many people attempting to get two million dollars from Silver City, all for the entertainment for a few rich assholes. I recommend it to anyone.

When someone has a life without responsabilities, job, and thougths about future, he looks at the rest who are working a lot, and have kids, and try to make a living... and say "Dude, I will never enter into that rat race".
Hey, dude, don't take the job, you'll get by yourself in the rat race.

While under time constraints, a girl is trying her best to get you off by sucking your cock, and it is just not working, You grab her by the back of the head and start shoving her head up and down as fast and hard as you possibly can to get the job done yourself as quickly as possible.
After that Rat Race I just had on your cock, there is no way I am falling asleep now.

The indistinguishable mass voice of an enslaved throng, first articulated by Bob Dylan in his iconic song, “It’s Alright, Ma.”
Don’t even think about questioning authority, just stand there and quietly sing along with the rat race choir!
