I've been mentally juggling the following for a few months.
I've worked essentially 7 days and nights a week for the previous decade, but now find myself working 4 days a week - and frankly, loving it in comparison. (My son was over 18 months old before I spent greater than a continuous 30 minutes with him).
Ongoing time catching up with family and self is important, but at a cost of working the 5th day with at least a possible 1/3-1/2 supplement in income.
Is it worth it? For what proportionate increase would you work this 5th day? Or a 6th? A 7th?
If you earnt 50, 100, 200, 300kpa? Does it change?
Or is our free time priceless?
What is your (extra) day off worth?
