Edited to say: Yes I know I could work harder, but life is too short, and I'm already gone from home too much. My whole goal is to work as little as possible to maximize my time off to enjoy what really matters in life.
You must not be doing it right
You might want to check how you calculated that. Are you talking gross or net pay? I know now is not the best time but you're senior enough to know how to get yourself FBOd left and right. That was a big money maker/time off maker for me when we were still training new hires.
