Does anyone work here part time by choice? Having spent time with family during lockdown I've realised how much we money we really need and how much time I'm working for no postive outcome. I don't get to see family as much when I'm working, I actually spend more on things to get that quick fix of relaxing and making the work worth it, I'm stressed throughout the day.
The obvious thing would be to say 'find a full time job you like' but I just don't like working full time. My partner argues 'work hard now, relax later' but I don't want to reach an age where I can't do the things I want because I've waited too long.
I've done some quick calculations for fun, and in the next 5 years, I could easily get my mortgage below or around £300. We have no other debts. My little one is entitled to free childcare (he's adopted) but I'd also get to spend more quality time with him, and my partner.
