I think they view it as "not as committed" when one does not work full time. <br /><br />Ironically the happiest people I know are the ones who aren't employed full time. They want to have a life and can see beyond the pay cheque. <br /><br />Perhaps because of that they are better financial planners which allows them the freedom to exit.MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421430633168170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-49702634147291780142009-11-24T08:12:19.406-05:002009-11-24T08:12:19.406-05:00I have a similar attitude as you do regarding work...I have a similar attitude as you do regarding working hours. If I could find an employer willing to hire me part-time immediately after our mortgage payoff goal is finished, I would probably jump on that opportunity. I want to work about 2-3 days a week until we have achieved our savings goals, then stop working (for pay) completely. It's too bad more employers aren't willing to offer part-time jobs for meaningful work; they could probably attract a lot of talented people that way.The Executionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419763605714282331noreply@blogger.com
