If you can't afford to take a three week break, what are you going to do when the contract ends? What would happen if your contract ended today?

Not saying I don’t invoice for more though.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Personally, unless work has been slow for the year I always take December and the first week of January off. I didn't get to last year as I didn't have much work at the beginning of the year but this year I've been working since last December almost continuously. I can't wait!Comment
