My break even point for covering salary/dividend/expenses etc. is about 24 weeks a year, so anything over and above this is profit (before CT) and therefore a bonus (keeps the warchest healthy). I'd consider anything above 30 weeks a good year, 40+ weeks excellent. Would be rare for me to work much more than this, I almost always try and take December off each year unless I really have to work and will often take small breaks between projects too.

Originally posted by ndl View PostIt doesn't matter what it says in the title. What matters is what I said in my previous sentence, that "I did 142 DAYS". Anyway, I've got to work weekends sometimes and then I book double.
I've been working for 2 weeks during Easter enjoying the sun by the pool in Southern Europe. I guess you can call it as 2 weeks off

Originally posted by radish2008 View Post280 out of 252 is good going. This year I'll take 40 days including the BHs and even though it's forced I'm coming round to the idea. Just had 2 weeks off over Easter and it was really good.
