It’s not worth it. Neither is freelancing. One of the appeals of freelancing was being able to work from anywhere in the world and still make money, but with wider availability of remote jobs that advantage evaporates.

Working for a good company is still the best most consistent way to make good money and have a good life.

How many companies let you work 3 days a week? Not from home, just three days a week aka5 day weekends every week?
Depends. Are we talking hours? Because if so, then most companies barely give 2 days worth of work per week. And in many cases, people probably work half of that, maybe 4 or 5 hours of actual focused work per day.

A freelancer spending very little time working probably isn’t making much money. But an employee who spends little time working, is still bringing in those same paychecks, week after week.
