I would take a 32 hr work week for the same pay rather than work 40 hrs and make more money

Title pretty much says it all. There's a bill circulating in Congress (United States) to reduce overtime pay to start after 32 hrs worked a week to 40 hrs. I personally would rather work the 32 hrs at the same pay because I would get an ENTIRE DAY back every week. Some simple maths for y'all: 1 day a week x 52 weeks a year = 52 extra days a year to yourself. That's 8 days shy of TWO MONTHS less work you have to do per year. What would you do with the extra time?
