<prompt> Human: Hey PF, Im 19 and just got a job after finishing school to work on turbines. A conservative estimate for 2014 will be 60k. Im not very eloquent but Ill do my best to make this post clear concise and easy to answer.A little about my jobschoolpast. In High School I ran three business while working at taco bell to build a resume. A video game money making business, a shoveling business and a shipping pallet removal business. With these I made 30K which I did not manage well. I did make enough to pay for my education though and I have about 5,000 left over. I went to school for turbine maintenance from july 8th to december 20 and I have landed a job and start the 30th. I do plan on owning a business and property in the future. The only bills I have are Insurance for my vehicle and my phone. 200 a month. I will also have to afford housing but at the moment thats looking to be around 1000 a month including utilities.My company is set up like this: 401k 100 match up to 6 Vacation: 22 Paid days and an additional 12 Paid holidays Benefits: insurance, dental etc. all paid. I dont even have a co-pay. I make 20hr. They are putting me up in a hotel and giving me 50 per diem for a month to help with relocation After six months I should be full time travel. The travel guysI have talked to them average 15 hours a day 6-7 days a week. I will also get 130 per diem when traveling 7 days a week but am responsible for my hotel.My big questions:What can I write off? I imagine I will be in a high tax bracket since I have no house or kids. I mean anything, sunglasses, boots, meals, entertainment whatever. Id rather not lose a 3rd of my income.What kind of investments can I do? Im planning on maxing out the 401k and the IRA. Ive heard about direct IRAs? I could use it to buy property or something. In general: how can I turn this opportunity into one where I can become a landlordbusiness owner. My goal is to turn this into more money. I dont have kids, I want to reiterate that: I am doing this to build start up money to own property and start a business of some kind.I also need to build credit as all I have is just from the last six months of paying electric and internet in my apartment. Im also planning on traveling since I am used to living out of suitcases so any tips for that would be great. It will be over seas and to food festivals. Thanks reddit! If you have any questions about turbines, the school, my past businesses or whatever Ill be happy to answer them.  <response>: What do you have for a vehicle? Do you have to drive it to work? Or do you get a work vehicle?... Are you opposed to buying a camper trailer and living in that? I do oil field construction and move around a lot so I just bought a tow behind camper trailer for 1600, fixed up anything that needed to be fixed and I just tow it behind my work truck. Lot fees to stay in a camp ground are no more than 20night usually less because I stay as long as I can. I also have no apartment. If I take days off I just travel somewhere, or stay with friends and give them some booze to show my gratitude. As a result I bank most of my 165day living allowance. Sure, this is an extreme case that I think most people wouldnt want to do, but I have found a balance doing it. Im young and I love making tons of money to fund my hobbies and travels and this is the best way to do it.
