I never understood people who are that obsessed with work and money. When I was self employed I'd only work when I needed money, which didn't amount to much time at all. I am at the other end of the spectrum. Unless I'm working on something I'm truly interested in or need the money, I find it hard to justify taking work over vacations.
- stingraycharles 7y agoI’m not sure about OP, but for me it’s mostly about risk tolerance. As your income source is much less stable, and you are exposed to much more risk if you have health problems, it means you need to do much more careful financial planning. Naturally, this implies building a decent savings account, and it also means it’s more difficult to take time off (“if I know for sure I have a client right now, wouldn’t it make sense to wait with vacation until it dries up?”).
