3-Day Weekend Every Week
Most full time employees have about 2 weeks off per year along with some paid holidays. I’ve been employed before so I know exactly what this is like. In fact, my last full-time “job” I was already on 4 day weeks because I did 4-10 hour shifts. This was fantastic and I can’t tell you how much I missed this when I went back to 5-8 hour shifts.
I heard over the weekend that because of the increase in gas prices, many companies are looking to transition much more into the 4-10 shifts allowing a 3 day weekend every week. This is a great method and plan for conserving fuel and helping with the energy crisis.
Now… transition to the internet business opportunity seekers. Those that work full time from home are really helping with the gas and energy crisis going on right now. Internet business opportunities are great for those that want to conserve gas and this should be taken into consideration at least to a degree when calculating the cost of working from home.
Take, for instance, the fact that I drive (solo for now, not carpooling) about 20 miles each way. I drive a 1999 VW Jetta which gets 30+ miles per gallon. So, I’m basically using 40 miles per day worth of commuting, so I’m spending about $4 per gallon of which I can 30 miles, then another $1.33 for the extra 10 miles. Put in perspective of a daily spend, this isn’t too bad, but then taken over a longer period of time, such as a year, the $5.33 per day times about 240 days per year is $1279.
So, that number can add up and if you’re not getting 30 mpg or have longer to commute, this number can go up… or down if you’re driving something more efficient or have less of a commute.
I don’t know if this is ending up being that much more of an advantage of just the $1279 (at least in my case)… So, I guess thought I’m still a huge proponent of alternative energy. In fact, I saw a decal on a suburban the other day that said, “Legs: The Alternative Energy Source”.
Made me chuckle. So, with just the gas factor alone, working from home could save you $1279, but that assumes you aren’t driving other places to meet with people and do other things like that. From what I understand, Europeans are paying about $4-5 per liter… which is more like $10-12 per gallon. So, yeah, I think the oil conglomerates know the limits of what people are willing to pay based on the EU. We’re headed there… consider alternative energy sources including electric.
