I’m considering going part time, but want to get some views on potential negatives of doing this, and would really like to hear from people who’ve done similar.

I’m looking at 3 days week. Bit of info about me:

35 years old
Mortgage is almost paid off
Totals for bills come in around 25% of what my new take-home would be
No wife or kids to think about (at least currently)


Not quite sure what I’d do with the time yet, but possibly pick up a different job, or travel, or volunteer, or think of starting up a business, learn new things, or something...

My main thinking is that there’s a lot of things to do out there in this big world, and I won’t get time to do it all otherwise. Well, more of it. You’ll never do it all!
