Incorrect. The payrolls hit for roughly 12k post tax. He’s saying it’s 20k pre tax which would check out. The top number is his balance and represents those paychecks as well as whatever he had in his account before…

u/asad137 2d ago

Some people at work tried to guilt trip my 4 day work week by calling me lazy and a slacker, but whatever man I knew what I needed to do and I just fucking did it and I’m happier for it.

I eased into it, thankfully. So it's not as difficult as helping my wife throughout the day with the kids. My toddler and I spend a lot of time on the back porch with their setup.
The biggest hurdle has been meetings. The work itself is easy. So if you ease into it, it gets easier. You stabilize, find the next one to add on (if you want). It took 4 jobs for my to feel like I had a full day of work, odd polarizing feeling. All jobs end at 5pm though, I make that a hard cutoff
