To afford to live a good life. It should be reality, not a dream.

Scandal Wagon. Pretty much the same story as Noem and over at the DoL, I predict.

One day to do household chores, and one day so recreate.
Not necessarily in any particular order
You have a day to take classes or strengthen your family. You're not stuck rushing a planned trip with buddies or family, a day drive to go camping or something like that.
You have a day in three you can volunteer for your community, if you want.
You can make a home repair, or take your car to the shop, start a window box garden, or collect all the clutter in your garage and make a dump run, and still have a day you can do your week's or month's shopping and start house cleaning.
Or you can just sleep in, wake up late to do your laundry, drink tea and nibble on toast while you read, then go on a walk or bike ride before eating dinner.
A four day work week, if you're being paid enough to make your bills and still have benefits, would be heaven. Of course, you might have to work 10 hours a day, but still.
