Even so, just the reactions from Dutch people here on HN show that a lot of them are working 4 days a week. I do it too. My brother does it. Many of my neighbours do it. A 4 day work week is particularly popular with parents.

I'd love to work 4d/week, but how does it affect retirement fund buildup?

You build it up at 4/5 the rate that you otherwise would have.

More precisely: you build it up at a rate relative to your income, which is probably 4/5 of what it'd otherwise be. But if that 4/5 is enough for you, the retirement funds will probably be too.
