I usually wait about a week before activating my unlimited vacation. This frees me up to look for my next job, which must also offer an unlimited vacation policy. I've been doing this for about thirteen months. I project my annual income this year will be around $1.7 million. So far, it has worked very well and I would recommend the arrangement to anyone.

Perhaps the most brilliant aspect of this scheme is that it will continue to sustain your legacy in perpetuity.

Your children, and their children. They're all taken care of.

Have you considered outsourcing? Hire a few more more smart people to activate their unlimited vacations. Split the winnings. Imagine the cash if you did it recursively!

"What do you do for work?" "We're on vacations."

I think you misuse the expression "unlimited vacation". I like your version more.
