Freedom Countdown

Archive for July, 2009

Is it really a vacation if you have to work an extra 20 hours the week before you leave and an extra 20 hours the week you get back?  While the mental break of a vacation is wonderful, I wonder if the work to get there is worth it.  And that’s just the effort to leave my day job, not to mention my business.  Although I’ve been able to work some on my business, much of it has been put on the back burner to prepare for leaving the job that pays the bills.

One thing nice about a salaried job is that the paycheck keeps coming when you’re on vacation.  When you have a business, you have to shut down or hire someone to run it for you.  Either way, a vacation costs you more than just your trip expenses.  But I think it will be worth it.
