I'll try to reduce work to 4 days a week soon (but I might wait for 12M at the company to pass and discus it along with a promised raise).

It's something more immediate and realistic than hoping index funds will carry me one day (and it avoids some taxes... the 8 extra hours don't pay so well after taxes).

Good luck to you though, I hope it all works out for us!

Same boat. It's just hard to ask for more money and less hours at the same time. I'm trying to argue give me a smaller increase at reducing a day to be able to focus on hobby projects or just mental health. Unsure if it'll happen but fingers crossed!

Are you in germany by and chance? Law is in this case on the workers side here. (but of course I hope not to have to reference the law at all...)

I'm not but that sounds great!
