It&amp;#x27;s without a question the biggest positive change in standard of living and life quality I could buy with this money. Will never regularly 5 days a week again unless I have no other options, or unless the pay is so good it&amp;#x27;s ridiculous.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d work 5-day weeks if the pay was so well that I, say, could save up five years of expenses in one year. Unfortunately, my local tax system strongly disincentivizes this by effectively having a 62% marginal tax rate.&lt;p&gt;So, in summary, I will most likely never have a 5 days a week routine again. It&amp;#x27;s just that good. In fact, due to the marginal tax situation, it&amp;#x27;s more likely I&amp;#x27;ll downscale to something closer to 50% if I can get away with it career-wise.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>4-day workweeks can boost happiness and productivity</title><url>https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/06/four-day-workweek/619222/</url></story>

The more work is done by one person, the less labor is left to create jobs.&lt;p&gt;Honestly I&amp;#x27;ve left this rat race of job competition a long time ago, it&amp;#x27;s depressing. I live in a country where welfare benefits allows me to eat and have a home. Money is not a problem. I&amp;#x27;m not a merchandise.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>4-day workweeks can boost happiness and productivity</title><url>https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/06/four-day-workweek/619222/</url></story>
