A few years back my wife and I decided to take a short vacation to Costa Rica. We had a great time for those few days we spent unplugged from computers, relaxing on the beach and ziplining through the rain forest.
But in order to pay for that trip, I had to take on a few extra client projects the month before we left. That meant working late nights and a few weekends. Plus, we couldn’t stay on vacation longer than 4 nights because I couldn’t afford to take more than one week off from client projects.
