[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2671040, member: 35089"] im typing this as i sit on a rig south of Alex, OK...been in the patch for just over 4 years and have to agree with everything said above. 99% of the rough necks out here live paycheck - paycheck with the lowest paid, wormiest dude on location making $65k/year or more working a week on, week off schedule. Not many vehicles parked out here that cost less than $30k :uhh: lots of stories about wild days off at the bars with equally wild tabs :uhh: . We all make enough out here to save and take some time off when things go bust but sadly few do. huge lack of financial education and understanding in this country with no place being more visible than the oilfield. "Feast and Famine" as dennishoddy said. Not trying to hijack the thread but The book "rich dad poor dad" should be mandatory reading in all our school systems, for sure changed my life for the better. [/QUOTE]
