that's rational approach except I am not paid per hour, but per job, not that it would change things much, it all comes down to that if I know there are money to earn I don't value my spare time at as much as I earn, especially considering that this won't last longterm and when it's gone I will have plenty of time doing nothing (read working as regular employee for peanuts) with no option to earn that much in regular job as employee with fixed salary you have paid vacation by law and it's standard for almost all employees, same as it's standard that almost none of them work during vacation and local bank holidays and most of their salaries are shit in recent months I earn on average 5 times more than is average income in my city (even more if you consider median), so you can see my conundrum why I don't want to give up on such income even during vacation. if I would be earning as much as majority of people, even majority of people in my field (still more than double) I would care about lost income during vacation much less than I care in current situation

but this still doesnt make much sense: if you just count your spare time normally, you can still get 4-4.5x (and probably more) than your usual pay .. honestly 4x or 5x matters less than normal time I've also had similar contract once .. and I think 1) it's absolutely not so unique: you can probably find many other well paid remote jobs 2) don't focus too much on the banking thing

Automate your job and where you can’t, just delegate work remotely to workers in other countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine (you can find cheaper good quality labor in this countries). Remove all the references so you don’t get undercut and forward all the finished work as if you did it yourself. You’d still have to “approve” the work but that’d take way much less of yout time.
