Lot of people in this thread saying they'd be willing to work N% hours less for N% less pay. Am I the only one living in a high cost of living area, for which the opposite is true? I'd be totally for working more but getting paid more. At this point in my life, mid-life crisis age, I am starting to notice time stalking me, realizing my inadequate retirement savings, and wondering how many more at-bats I'm going to have before it's time to walk away from the baseball game. Am I going to have to eat dog food when I retire? What's my kid's college going to cost? Will I ever be able to afford a vacation? Who really has comfortable answers to these questions?
Why on earth would you choose to work and get paid less than you can, while you are young and capable?? I look back and wish I had worked multiple jobs when I was younger, not that I had fewer hours.
