Who Wants A Three-Day Work Week? This Guy Thinks It’s The Future

You've heard of companies that let people work four-day work weeks and have three off right? Well, a Mexican businessman seems to think that in the future, you will see people working a three-day work week and having four days off! But...there's a catch...

His name is Carlos "Slim" Helu, and he is the second richest person in the world. He's worth about $80.3 billion dollars. So maybe he's onto something.

According to slate.com, he says the future of the work week is a three-day week with a four-day weekend. Sounds great, doesn't it?

His theory, however, does have a catch. In order for this to be possible, people would have to work 11-hour work days and not retire until they were 70 or 75 years old.

Slim says, quote, "With three work days a week, we would have more time to relax, for quality of life. Having four days off would be very important to generate new entertainment activities and other ways of being occupied."

Would it be worth it to you to give up a few years of retirement to have more days off per week?
