    My goal is a 3 day workday for $ 5500 which is avarage income in switzerland.

    Time is the most valuable thing. You only have on avarage 81 years to live. Thats why i look at life backwards from the end to the beginning. Which makes you think twice on accepting boring jobs.

    @heyheni wow that's a lot... I only make 2500 USD biweekly...

    @heyheni I couldn't agree more. I had a very boring job I didn't like but pay was amazing £2,800 after tax etc. But I ditched it for a job in IT support like I used to do as I love it. Now my take home is £1000 a month less but I don't spend my day bored and unlike my other job I have loads of spare time to spend with friends and more importantly my family.

    @allanx2000 to me that's a lot, I make less than half that bi-weekly.

    @sylar182 hm, maybe location? Things around here are kinda expensive... Especially if my job ain't fun.

    I meant it monthly. (60% work pensum)
    Yes it's much but switzerland is one of the most expensive countries in the world. The rent for a 2.5 flat costs about $ 1600. Eating lunch $23.

    @heyheni well that's still more and I think Switzerland is pretty nice country? Public health care, good economy, relaxed environment/work.

    Can't say the same for NYC/US....

    @allanx2000 Flagstaff AZ. I'm a student worker doing part time. I could be making twice as much if I was doing full time. But I sort of value my free time.

    @allanx2000 yeah. I'm designing a User interface for scientists to use for the Mars Rover. So that's pretty cool.

    I think 4 day workweek is doable, make sure that your life is great so you dont have to run away or take extended vacations

    @tisaconundrum I wish I felt imposter... Unfortunately I'm usually the guy telling ppl what to do... Or doing it for them

    Does that mean that if I choose "More Pay" they will say that "You were right - we should let them work on Saturday and Sunday"

    Such a cruel dilemma to be in..
