this is sadly true. as much as i "want" the old stories like OP to be true now (they may still be in rural areas i suspect), those times are basically over. i suppose one could do jobs like fruitpicking (totally unskilled) or other things like that but those employers dont want someone fluffing around for 3 days a week they want your life

Running a "guy with a truck" business is great for working 3 days a week, if you can make the finances work. Simply ... only accept 3 jobs a week!

You just have to be a freelancer (and all that entails), and be able to live on a very low income.

You don't think there is demand for people willing to work weekends in jobs like retail, hotels, moving, entertainmnent, teaching?
