... I was wondering if anyone did the same or has been thinking about doing the same thing.
If you have done something similar, thought about it, or even throught about it and didn't go through with it, please do tell. I'd like to hear peoples opinions.
I did this!
Six months ago, I went from 5 days/ week at 50+ hours work down to 4 days/ week for 32 hours.
LOVING it! I sleep better, get more done around the house, have time for enjoyable hobbies & can take off for long-weekend adventures quite easily!
Once mortgage is paid off in full, DH will completely RE. I plan to then cut down even further to just 2 days/ week. This will still bring in enough $ to allow stash to grow, or we can use it to travel more.
My job in healthcare is set up splendidly for semi-ER. I can do part-time or per diem or travel assignments or agency. Loads of flexible options (best decision I ever made was returning to college for 2nd degree & total career change!)
BONUS: As a slightly introverted individual, I enjoy getting "shoved out of my social laziness" & forced to interact with people at work (good coworkers!)
