If the normal pay for normal hours is a liveable income in your world, then if you spend 8 months doing normal hours x 1.5 you've got your money for the other 4 months over the winter covered and you can head off to the beach in Goa knowing your rent's covered? - or dig over the winter too and make the chancellor and your bank manager happy? Or alternatively just stay poor :face-crying:
