Well done.Love the goals and the emphasis on time rather than work/money. 

In that order with a huge emphasis on price first.

I'm not sure the question is as valid today as it was maybe 10-15 years ago because we are now in a global economy...24/7.

But when the emphasis is on CV, give them what they want. 

If so, how much emphasis do you put on it?
