I make pretty good money as a consultant. Last year I had 180 hours of saved vacation time (4.5 weeks). I gave up 115.5 hours of that on January 1 because I didn't use it. I expect I will lose a similar amount on next January 1st. I did get 6 federal holidays off. I used a bit of vacation to also take the day after Thanksgiving, the day before Christmas, and New Year's Eve off.
I paid $8400 in insurance premiums for my insurance. I also added $5200 in pretax to my HSA account which I used.
I paid about 30% to taxes.
I'm not complaining. I'd just like to point out that my high salary (which is not > $200,000) comes with some costs.
