be me work as a lineman up north make 300$ a day for per diem no taxes. live in my rv as i travel the country for work. ' 109,500$ tax free every year, and that's not even counting the salary. never have i spent more then 300$ a day, i am like 26 8 years on the job and a multi-millionaire. total income is like 200,000$ with taxes from labour hours of about 60 hours a week. + additional per diem 109,500$ + union health insurance, pension and 401k contributions. i could retire right now to a back water town in america and live off the dividends, but i want to travel the world and have some cushion so i am going to work another 10 years and retire at 37.  the first 5-6 years of labor is back breaking though and super hardcore, but once your a journey-man at your trade the new grunts your teaching does all that work.  right now i got 2 brothers that work under me they stay in a little camper i got hooked up to the back of the r.v. company still pays them 150$ a day in per diem + a good hourly rate. i help them out though and give them smokes and take them out to eat.  they could stay in the r.v., but i like to buy a hooker 3-5 times a week and it would be awkward.
