No, the point was:
If you work 5 days for €3500/month brutto you make 2.138,49 netto
but if you work only 4 days for €2800 brutto you make 1.812,82 netto,
only 300 netto less, that's 16% and 20% less.

Fact is: We are working in an industry where we can make a lot money
but also reach the top barrier tax-wise and pay an aweful lot of taxes for that.
This is not me being lazy, but me being smart enough that my work
on a Friday is (netto) worth less than it's on the first days of the week.

And for god's sake, don't rant about me being bad to the local economy, because
if more (high paid) ppl would work work there would be more jobs and less unemployment.

And finally, as already mentioned: I'm making the best of my free time by working
on my own project which turn into profit one way or the other.
If my projects don't make profit money-wise then I've still done and learned something new,
something that will put me ahead of you who only does his job and doesn't broaden his skills.

ciao, tom
