Your job offers you an absolutely incredible amount of flexibility and PTO (compared to average Americans). If you like the work, you could use some of that free time and flexibility to find other ways to save/"make" money. Couponing, budgeting, deal hunting. Things like travel deals, maximizing your credit card points or loyalty points, etc. You could essentially be getting 5-10% return on every purchase you make in a year or buying the things you would be buying anyway but always at a discount.
