I used to work like crazy, and then said why? For the last couple of years I've told my work "I'm taking 2 months off (unpaid), you can decide if I come back or not". Guess what, I always came back. After a number of years of this I've decided to just quit and not work for a period of time. I'm having the best summer in years and doing a bit of stuff on the side and keeping up on the .NET stuff. I'm not sure if the golden age of programming will last forever but you might as well take advantage of it while its here. I'm sure that once your older you'll never say, "If I only spent more time on project x"

Spend less, work less, have more fun, I'm amazed at how so few have figured this out
