So I tell myself ;-) However, the reality is that it's pretty hard. I live in a rural area of Japan. There are few world-wide remote jobs at the moment and so hanging on to my contracts is pretty important to me. There are times when the client gets it into their head that since I have few other options, it's a good opportunity to get more for less. So balancing the risk of going for a long while without work against a client that is intent on low-balling you is quite challenging. On the whole I'm happy because I love where I live (it's become my home), my wife's family is here and we can help out and it's a good lifestyle. Probably I'd have less stress somewhere else, though. That is to say, I don't really recommend it if you have other options ;-)
