Seriously. It's amazing to me that this idea doesn't enter folks' minds. I would love to do my current job for 50% of the pay and work 6 months out of the year

Seriously. It's amazing to me that this idea doesn't enter folks' minds. I would love to do my current job for 50% of the pay and work 6 months out of the year and take 6 months vacation (yes, I know the numbers would be a little different). This is not an option. You either do temp work/contracting work (a giant PITA IMHO) or you "man up" and work 40-50 hour weeks with 2 weeks of vacation.
