WFH for the last 10 years. 2020 I went from full time to part time at the same company to better homeschool my two children. No more on call. Lost benefits and we moved onto my wife's plan (not as generous). She went from five days to four. Letting go some of the work responsibilities has reduced the related work stress. "Work" problems seem so much smaller now. Family bonds feel stronger. There is a lot of laughter at home. Our work/life balance improvement has been worth the financial changes but no career or professional growth for 2020. Just maintaining.
