A strategy I thought out today was as follows (note: I'm based in The Netherlands):
1. Get a job for 32 hours per week
2. Work 10 hours on week days and 8 hours on one weekend day (take the other weekend day of), so that you clock 58 hours per week.
3. Don't take up your vacation, safe it.
4. Take the other 6 months off.
5. Oh, and pay less taxes. You're handing in 20% gross, but net you're only handing in 15%.
I think a schedule like this works for people like me, because I like to work hard and earn my freedom and then relax and doodle around for quite a while (i.e. 2 to 4 months) and then do a small side project and then work hard again.
Since I'm at the beginning of my career, it sounds like an interesting experiment.
Not for my situation, but for others: geo-arbitrage becomes interesting as you can literally fly to Thailand for 6 months and come back (a cheap retour ticket is found for around 400 euro's).
