If I work three days per week I would work from 12:30 pm until 6:30pm. If I work four days per week I would work from 2:30pm until 6:30pm.

I also want to go to the gym at least twice during the week.

The more you work, the more money you make. Is there a reason to only work three days? Or to only work four days?

Unless you have a good reason, I don't recommend only working three days a week. Work as much as you can now, while you can. Because eventually you won't be able to work at all. By then it will be too late. And you never know when that day might come. So do it now.

I like to have time to do other things during the week. As I mentioned going to the gym.

Because eventually I won’t be able to work at all? There are people who work when they are older it depends on the type of work.

But you don't KNOW how long you will be able to work. The only thing you know is that you can work now, so you should.

Three days is almost nothing. Four days is almost nothing. You want more time to do other things. So does almost everyone else on the planet. But unless you make a lot of money per hour, three days is not nearly enough.

The thing is that the longer you delay saving money, the harder it gets. At your age you should be seriously thinking about retirement, and doing the math to figure out how to get there. You should already have a big chunk of money saved.

I am working this job while I study to take an exam so that I can get a higher paying job. Ok three days per week is almost nothing. So I’ll work four days per week then.

My health is important to me so I want to go to the gym. If you can’t understand why going to the gym is important then you must not know anything about health.

You should be able to work 5-6 days a week and still get plenty of exercise.

As I said I have other things that I need to do. There are people who take a day off during the week. There is nothing wrong with that I don’t get what your issue is.

My issue? I just answered your question. I answered with a proven formula that works for millions and millions of people. And a proven formula (your formula) that doesn't work, unless you make a LOT per hour.

Expert after expert would answer the same way I did. Of course it is your choice. But it's a choice that you might come to regret after it's too late.

Of course there are a lot of people who take a day off. There are also a lot of people who come to regret it.

[AI Opinion]

Deciding between a three- or four-day work week hinges on your personal priorities and financial needs. Consider how each option aligns with your work-life balance goals. A three-day work week might offer more personal time, enhancing well-being and opportunities for other pursuits. However, it may come with reduced income. A four-day week could be a middle ground, offering increased income while still allowing additional personal time compared to a traditional five-day week. Reflect on your current commitments and long-term goals to make the best choice.
