> I'd love to reduce hours, but I've never found a way to make it work. How seriously have you tried? I don’t know you or your situation but often when someone says this they just mean “that sounds nice, but…”. If it’s something you really want, treat it like a job to figure it out. I’m glad I put in the effort and time to work it out. It’s a mix of reducing / eliminating expenses and trying different things. There are so many options once you (and your partner) decide you want it more than a million dollar house etc. The specifics depend on the individual. Most of the things we collectively (society) spend money on are unnecessary and often even detrimental to contentment. For the things that are necessary, there are often cheaper options. I’m not referring to some kind of new age self help nonsense. Just look how your grandparents or great grandparents lived during the depression.
