So, in 5 years I'll work a maximum of 2 months at a time, then have a month off. That's what I do, some take an entire summer off with their kids. It's great.
However, you're leaving out that you're only getting a week of pay for each week of vacation, which makes for a low paying month, if that's all you do. So for that month you take off, with that one week of vacation, you are only getting paid for half a month. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not a full month of pay.
