Tell me your choice + your job 👀

Let’s talk real-life choices 👀

Would you rather work 4 days a week with lower pay and more time to live your life — or 5 days with higher pay but less personal time?

With today’s cost of living, this isn’t an easy answer. Sometimes you want balance… sometimes you need the money.

No wrong answers here! I’m genuinely curious 👇🏾

What would YOU choose and why?

Honestly, it depends on the season. As a therapist, I’ve learned that time and capacity matter just as much as income. If my basic needs are covered, I’d choose the 4-day workweek for the extra rest and recovery because burnout is real in helping professions. But with today’s cost of living, I also understand choosing the 5 days when stability or financial goals require it. Balance looks different depending on what you need in that moment.

Such a difficult answer. I loved working four days a week at my old job, but unfortunately more money will make living easier in this economy.
