I'm a freelancer and realized yesterday that I haven't had a real vacation in 8 years, but also that every one of my clients would probably say yes definitely if I told them I needed a week off. And they did, and I'm taking off next week and I have never been so excited in my life.

- systemtest 7y agoI'm a freelancer and I usually take a couple months off between contracts. It's awesome because there is nothing on your mind when you are between contracts. It's also why I prefer freelancing over being an employee.

- davidscolgan 7y agoI just do a PPO plan on the health insurance marketplace in the US. I pay about $500 as a single person nonsmoker 30 year old male. It's been fine so far.
- rb808 7y agoEuropeans are like damn I haven't had a week off since March, I should organize one!
- arthur-st 7y agoHaha, I first chuckled at this, and then it dawned upon me that I do plan a week off in July-August, having had 2 weeks off in April. European here, of course.
