A WOMAN was able to save £15,000 in just four months by doing a job no one else wants to do.
Savvy TikToker and travel expert Janne has revealed how she’s been able to stack the cash by working a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) job in Australia.
She takes on a number of different roles, however, as part of the job[/caption]She even claims that she’s made so much money from her hard graft that she doesn’t know how to spend it all.
And that’s from working in mining, where a two weeks on, two weeks off shift pattern has helped her to turn her fortunes around.
In a short video uploaded to TikTok, Janne (@jannedhuyvetter) shows just how she’s been able to save £15,000 working FIFO for four months.
Having been flown to a remote location in Australia, Janne then takes up a number of different roles to earn her cash, slogging out 12 hour shifts for 14 days straight.
A caption attached to the six second clip says: “Working FIFO on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia has all the benefits you are looking for if you want to save money to travel.”
In a separate video, Janne can be seen enjoying her time on a sunny beach.
“Never thought I’d spend my free time on a beautiful beach in Western Australia after working 2 weeks straight in mining with a filled bank account not knowing how to spend it,” she said:
In the video’s caption, however, she reveals how she can travel “7 times around the globe” with the money she’s made in FIFO mining.
Viewers were left shocked at the stunning revelation and some were even left begging to know how they can do the same thing.
One person even said they were “ready to make the sacrifice” in order to get the job.
Another even encouraged Janne to work even harder because there is “no such thing as a filled bank account.”
“There’s always room for more,” they said.
Elsewhere, a self-employed man claims he earns more than £500 daily doing odd jobs that no one wants to do.
Spencer Claeys, from Seattle, revealed he works just five hours every day and makes more money than your average person – all without even going to an office.
And a savvy worker has managed to find a job which pays him more than $14,000 a week – eight times that which he’d earn in a graduate job.
TikToker Uros Ljeskovic revealed the extent of his earnings in a video, inspiring many of his viewers to consider jumping on the bandwagon.
What are FIFO jobs?
This saves families relocating to somewhere with very limited resources and facilities.
Workers usually work a two weeks on, two weeks off period, where all days off are spent at home rather than at the work site.
Mining is the most common form of work, where employees can endure 12 hour shifts for a number of continuous days.
The work is certainly challenging but it can be incredibly rewarding – and the pay is often higher than regular 9-5 office jobs.
The average FIFO salary in Australia is $109,279 (£56,784) per year or $56.04 (£29.12) per hour.
Workers will also have their accommodation and food paid for when working in these remote locations.
As the employee’s work days are almost entirely taken up by working, sleeping, and eating, there is little need for any recreation facilities at the work site.
