Just took a 15% pay cut to go part-time and I've never felt better

Two weeks in and honestly, best decision I've made since becoming a dad. Working 4 days a week, Fridays with the kids now. Yeah, money is tighter but my oldest (7) actually remembers who I am when I pick her up from school. My wife says I'm less of a zombie at dinner. The guilt about missing stuff is just... gone. Obviously not everyone can do this, but if you're on the fence—do it. Your mental health is worth more than you think.
