I'm still not ready for early retirement (financially), however work is at a point where it is becoming mentally and physically draining, and it feels like the weekends are the only time that I have to really live the life that I want.
I think I could get by fine on 4/5 of my salary while working 4 days a week. I might have to decrease my savings to a more normal level, but I feel like I have enough savings to let it grow without too much contribution. My concerns are that it might put early retirement off further into the future than I'd like. Also, my employer might view it as one foot out the door. Another option that I thought of was contract work for the same company.
Anyone have experience with a 4 day work week or contract work, and how to approach it?
