Pretty good, how is your approach working out financially?

I currently have a full time job. There is the option of reducing to 80%, but that comes with the respective salary cut. I'm wondering if it's worth it, also the increased productivity is not accounted for from a financial perspective.

Yeah, hard to say without knowing your situation. I suppose I try to maximize my daily rate and it's sometimes hard to find projects that are a good fit. If I worked more days, I could make more money. I used to make a lot more money, and be less happy. Also I moved from SV to cheaper cities in europe, so that helps me maintain a pretty awesome lifestyle. Trade offs.
