Appreciation post: I turned down the $4k raise for the schedule change and my Sundays are mine again
My boss offered me either a $4k bump or moving to a 4 day week back in March, and I took the shorter week even though my rent went up $150 in June. Six months in I actually cook dinner at home 5 nights a week instead of grabbing whatever was left at the Shell station on my way home. Anyone else pick time over money and did it stick, or did you end up going back for the cash?
Man, 4k is nothing once you do the math on what your free time is actually worth. Cooking at home 5 nights a week alone probably saves you half that in gas station food. Good call.
