Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH for the same pay, which would you choose?

After doing WFH for several years, I’ll only take a job on site as a last resort or for like double my pay. Then I would cut my time until FIRE roughly in half. I don’t hate doing work. I hate having a huge chunk of my time taken up by having to work 40 hours.

If work weeks were cut to 24 or even 32 hours, I might even reconsider the FIRE path.

What does FIRE stand for?

Basically earn a bunch of money, invest smart, and retire early.

A bunch of people want to act like it’s some secret new method and treat it like a fad diet, but people have been doing it forever.

Thanks! Sounds like calories in - calories out in weight loss.

Yeah, it’s overly simplified to the the point you’re missing out on valuable details.

Like, if just “spend less, save more” was easy, everyone would do it
