Anecdata, but I'm MUCH happier when working 15 instead of 35 and certainly 40-50 hours a week, provided I'm making the same money (or more to the point, keeping the same'ish lifestyle, albeit with more free time.)
That doesn't mean I'm unoccupied an additional 20 hours a week, but being occupied with my choice of activities is way better.
- glenneroo 10y agoContributing my own anecdata: I'm in a similar situation - I voluntarily started working 20 hours/week for the last 9 years. In my spare time I've taken up multiple new hobbies and cultivated older hobbies into semi-part-time jobs (a few hours a month). I can't ever imagine the torture of working 40+ hours/week ever again.
