I'm currently taking a break from working. This year, I've been a contract developer, which has been very lucrative because I charge a very high hourly rate. I can now afford to take the next few years off, depending on what city I move to of course. Thing is, for my whole professional life, I've been a workaholic. I used to think that it was fine for me to work so much because I just love programming so much, but I think all those 60 hour weeks gradually wore me down. I think I'm at the point now where I have to force myself to chill out for a while and develop other interests in my life besides coding. So, that's just what I'm going to do.

Luckily, I don't have children or a mortgage, but I do have a health problem that requires me to maintain health insurance, which I pay for myself.
