Where "half of what you make in a 40h/wk job" ~= (a) enough, OR (b) not enough.
If the answer is (a), then yes, I would mind. I would stick to 2 days.
That answer is not only true for me, research has shown it to be true for the majority of people for a US value of "enough" = $75,000/household (possibly could be updated for inflation/cost of living but the point stands).
You might be in the minority who wouldn't mind—in fact I suspect a disproportionate number of HNers may fall into that particular minority—but it's not true for most of the population.
