Actually, they just took the damn truck allowance away. But we get .56 a mile now. Figured out I'll be makin 4-6+ a month if I stick with this and my bills alone are only 15-1700 so I'll be able to save a good lil bit every month. I want to pay double on my truck as well.

This is true. I have seen about a 50/50 split in S. Texas of people in the oilfield who either blow there money or actually save and use it wisely. Honestly the first few years I was in it I was in the group of people who blew it and had nothing to show. That has changed now and for the last couple years its been nice having some saved up and such.

I know one thing I won't blow it on is alcohol. I don't party or drink, so the clubs are not getting any of my money :crazy:

What do u do in the oilfield grey ghost? I've been in it for almost three years and blew most of it at the beginning but this year bought a house and starting to save finally.
 
When you guys talk about blowing "all this money" what are we talking here? A guy who makes $1000 week? Or are we talking 150k/yr type of income.
Just curious.

You asking how much those working in the oilfield make?.....if so depends on the job/what you do and lots of other variables. Some people check wells or work on pipelines while others might be a driller on a land rig or a floor hand offshore. Old roommate works offshore 3 weeks gone and 3 weeks home and is a mechanics helper (not sure if that's his exact title) until a mechanics job comes up and he made 105-110 after bonus and before taxes, etc. etc.....you also have yo remember the cost of living here is leaps and bounds cheaper than California so that money goes further as well.
 
I'm just thinking that, netting $1200/wk doesn't allow for a whole lot of money to "blow"

So I was confused if we were talking like 3k/wk take home, or 1200/wk take home.

Carry on.
 
I would go out on a limb and guess 750-1k a week bring home for a green hand

Damn, wish I could bring that home each week. With just regular hours I get less than $500 a week and with regular OT around $660 a week.
