7 days a week of work?
What a waste of a life
I’m 55 and I’m down to 4 full days now. that’s plenty, I have other more enjoyable stuff to do.

I'm 49 years old and have been down to a 4 day week for over 6 months, more to life than working, got to enjoy life while we can

Find a job you love and you'll never work another day in your life they say. Scottish was always on 7 days, he seemed to enjoy the company.

Just my opinion, but anyone working 7 days a week when they don’t need the money is a bit of a saddo.
So many things in this life better than working

I feel like that personally but everyone is different. Each to their own I say.

Turned 60 the other week.
39 years on the glass and 36 years self employed.

I work 6 mornings a week.
Weather permitting.

Leave the house around 8.45 am and miss the worse of the rush hour traffic and aim to be home around 1.30 pm each day.
Mostly Trad which i prefer but have van with WFP and each week changes with booked in jobs and a few days regular weekly and monthly jobs.
Saturday mornings are easier for city centre jobs for parking and i work the odd sunday morning.
Some customers i have i have known for over 30 years and now clean their childrens houses and in some cases their grandchildren.
Did my dinger in when younger and chased the pound and still remember the 12 hour shifts every friday with going collecting in the evenings.

My biggest fear is having to give it up and spend restless nights trying to get to sleep thinking what the hell i am going to do with myself the next day.
Keeps me fit and with walking my dogs a good way to keep active in mind and body and a good way to avoid the wife and probably the secret for a long and happy marriage.

Age is just a number a long as my knees hold out.

Im down to 3 days a week since new year. Im 43, decided enough was enough slogging through each day miserable with this job. The winters are long and depressing and the body is feeling the toll of 10 years lifting a pole up and down... tennis elbow, constant hand and wrist pain and the shoulders...

I feel a lot better working a 3 day week, its given me the energy to get back to the gym and start exercising again, i couldnt be bothered after a days work in the past.

Money really isnt that important when you are just plain fed up, no doubt i suffer from bouts of depression but the solitarty nature of the job and the weather and monotony had burned me out.

Sounds like you could do with a change of job ? Don’t understand why you have so many physical issues using the pole I’ve been using WFP for 22 years 5 days a week and don’t have any of those issues , does your technique need adapting?
