    lots of people would love to work less for less money to have more time.

    Yes, work less, more time… the money part is the “gotcha!”.

    I’m in Canada and over 50% of the population are living paycheck to paycheck. Too many people aren’t even taking their earned time off just so they can put in extra hours to afford a roof over their head.

      To anyone outside of Canada, the majority of our population lives where a cheap roof is about $100,000. As is each of the 4 walls. Plus the floor too. (So like $600,000)

      Or you could rent a bachelor’s apartment for like $2000/month.
