A supervisor friend said to me one day that we value what is scarce. At the beginning everyone wants the money because most people live paycheck to paycheck and the money from the mines breaks that. As time goes on and the mortgages are paid and the super tops up, it is time that is scarce, not money anymore. As he got older, he realised that family time is more important and reduced his pay to get a 1/1 roster. He said; "Have a money based goal within 5 years, get your partner to get in on it and after the goal is met or time's up, then have a holiday with them for a few weeks and re-orient your goals"

from what ive found here in canada 3/3 is the sweetspot that works best for me :) maybe 4/2 if you really wanna put your head down and earn a Principle investment for a season. I think anything shorter than 3/3 gets ineffecient vis a vi fly days. even if your fly days are paid, that pay is also capped if you make enough. Currently though im out working 6 weeks voluntarily off of a shift thats meant to be 3. Ive had to jump and fill in positions above me for a week here or there. I dont know if there are genuinely not enough ppl looking to work in the kitchens up here, or if our HR just cant make anything happen. I know they are stretched thin over too many projects (middle of summer!) and its impossible for me to directly contact them. I hope they dont forget me up here! xD I will say nearing the end of Week 5 I am emotionally exhausted and I got the brain fog 🤯

I've been doing FIFO for some 6 years now, 4/2 , 2/1 etc and yes , you lose one day travel going over , one coming home, so on a 2/1 roster there's not much family time to be had at home , the majority of your life is spent in 50 degree heat doing 12 hr shifts for awesome pay , no matter how many gyms , tennis courts or councillors they throw at the problem, in 10 years time the only people that will remember that you've worked every new years eve , christmas and birthday will be your family ! Great lifestyle for a young unattached person to safe up money quickly, as long as you don't spend it all on toys and get too used to it or stay in too long as all your friends are likely to move on and get married leaving you wealthy but lonely

Money is your time. Money takes away some of your stresses but equally creates the same amount, if not more stresses. Your time/care/energy are your true values and gifts whilst in this physical consciousness experience we are having. Both money and time run out very quickly if squandered. FIFO's may get paid well but it comes at a huge cost of personal connected consciousness experiences that they lose when away from what/who matters to them the most.
