For many years back home in the high country , I poured concrete, swung a hammer, worked for outfitters in the fall and was a ski patroller in the winter. It was an awesome lifestyle for a single guy! Now retired from construction and having worked more jobs in the last 40 years than you can name, I clean machinery at night and look after an elderly parent. It sucks , but it is my job!

There are some pretty significant tax incentives out as a care giver there if your parent qualifies for them. Definitely something to look into.

How about a grandparent? My wife just moved her 89yr old grandma into an apartment in town. My wife cooks her meals, does her laundry, cleans her house, does all the bill paying and takes her to everything since she doesn't have a driver's license

Equipment maintenance. I have saved countless thousands of dollars doing my own work around the house.

Definitely a perk to many "Blue Collar" jobs. You pick up a ton of skills along the way and, what you can't fix, you know someone who can and you can often work out arrangements.

I do enjoy my work overall, it keeps my hands and mind busy! Sometimes it’s frustrating but I think that just comes with the territory.



Last year I hunted and scouted 26 day, 8 of the 26 days were PTO. All of the other days were weekends. I’m fortunate to live very close to the unit I hunt so I can hunt every weekend during season and scout often in the summer. My wife is very supportive


My work offers a benefit where they will pay for my hunting licenses, among other things, but I just care about hunting licenses. It’s a decent amount in my opinion and really helps to afford putting in for out of state hunts! I also feel like my boss is very understanding and as long as my job is done and done correctly, time off is easy to get.

So you're the guy I can ask when I need the JIC fitting that takes an 11/16 wrench

Journeyman Lineman, working in a Troubleman role for a utility. Job is great, plenty off PTO. Benefits are so-so. Pay is good to great but have to be at work to earn the money. Passive income is where my mind has wandered over the past few years.
