How many hours would you work?

Me too - I don't just want to make ends meet.

It would depend on whether I could still get medical insurance, since that is really the only reason I'm working.

And it would depend on how well my husband was doing financially.

But I'd work as little as possible.

I don't need to work now but choose to work at least 36 hrs a week. I love what I do.

No question....8 hours. After 14 years of working 30+ hours/week, I'm ready for a break!!!

Work to live, don't live to work!!!

I would work 12-24 hours per week. That 3rd 12 just seem like too much some weeks. 8 hour shifts seem so short when you are used to a 12. My ultimate goal is to be able to work PRN "when I grow up".

I would do an 8 hour shift per week with a few extra shifts per month. (maybe a total of 6 shifts per month, with a 12hr thrown in every once in a while for good measure).

This way I can keep my skills fresh, keep busy, have some "extra" money, and still feel like I'm raising my son.

I could also take in a foster child or two.

Probably 40+ ---- just like now! I really enjoy my job and being in the field keeps me out of a lot of the "office politics". I can handle most abusive family members when I keep in mind that they are probably really nice people when they don't have a loved one dying. My b/f (retired) always teases me about the fact that I'll probably be a hospice nurse until the day I'm admitted to hospice.

I work 8-16 hours a week and sometimes not at all. I work to pay the exorbitantly riduculously excessively high property taxes here (about $9K each and every year!) Once DH retires and we have this house sold, we're downsizing in a big way asap and then I won't have to work.

I have a sewing business that I do from my home and love being home, traveling with DH, and working for those aforementioned nurse managers and administrators just does not figure into my long term plans.

Fortunately for me, my ends have already been met, so I plan to work PRN 8-20 hrs (no week-ends or holidays) .

since my hubby is a self-employed rancher, I must carry the health insurance through my employer for our family......however, if I could only work 8 hours and be home with my kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat!!! I have had 2 of my kids grow up and are now on their own and I pretty much missed everything with them because of my work schedule and picking up overtime "just to make ends meet"!! Time with kids is too precious and it is gone too quickly!! Til I win the lottery, however, I will continue to work my full-time-plus-overtime hours and carry my $600 a month health insurance!!

I would work 32 hours per week: 8 hrs to make ends meet; another 8 hrs for extra bills/ misc and; extra 8 hrs for savings.

32 hours would be ideal and awesome! Not like how i work right now -52 hours/week!
