50% More Weekend for 20% Less Pay

As the working world returns to normality one change I'm hearing about from several different clients is a decision to accept less pay in exchange for working four days a week. One client who made this change recently was telling me how wonderful it is to have about 6 hours in the middle of the day completely to herself. The house is quiet, nobody needs you, you just get peace. It's had such a positive benefit on her mental health that she has now convinced her husband to make the same change.

Perhaps cutting back your working hours is something you've contemplated. In this week's episode, I wanted to explore that a little, dig into some numbers, as best we can in an audio piece, and consider strategies to address the longer-term impacts of making this change.
