Most of the jobs that I had here in the US gave me between 10 and 15
working days plus two discretionary days and several sick days.

I always take the discretionary first and then vacation, as discretionary
days are not paid when you quit.

When I was working in Brazil, vacation was 30 consecutive days -- by
law you are allowed to sell 10 days and you cannot carry over any days
for next vacation.

The last vacation I had was January of last year, for fifteen working days.

I took a new job last November, thus I have not had any vacation since January.

I plan to take a sebbatical pretty soon.

Enjoying life is much more important than money.
