Fair play to you. Each to their own.
150 days at £540 = £81000 minus tax and NI gives a take home of £54000.
Guess this is fine if you have no mortgage, young family, a good level of investments and are approaching retirement. Or have a wealthy wife or parents
Those of us with a few years left and mortgages will eventually end up in your situation although effectively throwing away £27k would not be an option to me, I would much prefer to work around Europe to avoid buying MPs new houses, giving money to benefit scroungers and the like
I work 185-200 days with average income of £115-120k tax free (offshore income). Like you, I am happy with my lot.
I know guys who work 320 days a year, greedy with huge consequences for their families. That is no life. As I say, each to their own but level headed guys draw the line somewhere which is why I have a set days target and mantra 'family & life before work'.
