I heard a guy at the coffee shop say he only works 4 hours a day now

He was talking to someone about his freelance copywriting, saying he raised his rates and cut his hours after reading some book. I mean, it sounded great, but idk, maybe it's just me but that feels like a trap for new people. I've been doing this for three years and if I tried that next month, I'd miss my rent. Has anyone actually made that switch without a huge savings cushion first?

I tried that last year after reading a similar book, lmao. My plan was to go from 30 hours to 20. I lasted about six weeks before I was digging into my emergency fund for groceries. You really need those high-paying clients locked in first.

It's a tough spot to be in for sure.
