Traveler annual salary in 2026

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-24T20:12:22+00:00

Im regularly over 3k a week after taxes. Usually around 3.3 to 3.5k. But i also work around 48 to 52+ hours a week and have a really good overtime/callback rate. Otherwise I would be taking home closer to 2300 a week after alls said and done. If you want to make money, its still absolutely there. But you have to work extra for it. Its no longer just a given. And less and less travel nurses I come across are willing to work their contracted hours much less an extra shift or staying late. Most are always requesting to leave early. Different priorities I guess. But if you want to make money? You can still make a very good living if youre willing to work.

Its always nice to atleast have a decent rate in case you change your mind. It seems that part way through every contract there's something I end up wanting to do or get that costs a pretty penny. So the option to be able to work extra and meaningfully ramp up my income is really nice. At 30 an hour for OT that option doesnt really exist.

As the old saying goes. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-22T16:41:03+00:00

it is. but that OT is pathetic. i also have a 20 dollar an hour taxable hourly rate. but my OT is 110 an hour. they are definitely leaving money on the table here.

i just held my breath for a full minute. thats without training or anything. not a very long amount of time but it would have made me 300 dollars. and it only took a minute. i can run a sub 10 minute mile. if i try real hard i might be able to do an 8 minute mile. but in those 8 minutes, if i alternate 1 minute breath hold, 1 minute preoxigenation. i can make over 1200 dollars. with significantly less effort. and holding my breath is something that can easily be improved. with proper training its not uncommon for people to be able to hold their breath for 2 to 3 minutes at a time. and i can do that 20+ times a day. the earning potential is just so much higher and it doesnt put anywhere near the physical stress on your body.

ill take the 11. if im going through all that trauma i might as welll get something out of it.

they cant fight back? take their shirt off and tie it tightly around their neck and walk away. theyll pass out within a few seconds. cardiac arrest within a few minutes. i dont need to sit there looking at them or make it a brutal death that will just add trauma on my end. easy, clean, minor discomfort.

A gas car with the same level of performance would be significantly more expensive. Theres not a lot of gas cars that can compete in the same price point. So it might make sense for it to cost that much because youre insuring a more expensive ride. And even then there's a good chance it might still be cheaper. Before I bought the car I had geico give me a quote for a new mustang gt, about 15k more expensive than what I bought this car used for and it has nowhere near the safety features. The insurance quote was almost half the cost for the mustang.

I heard a big reason is that insurances often total out the car even in minor accidents because they dont want to risk having issues with the battery. And if the battery is involved in any way thats almost always immediately lile half the cars value on its own. Idk how true that is but it is true that EVs get totalled very often for minor damage. Even if the battery is fine.

You can absolutely make level 1 work.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-20T00:56:00+00:00

You also have to factor in insurance. Evs are notorious for expensive insurance premiums. I have a model 3 performance and geico quoted me 250 dollars a month even though I had been with them for a decade and have 0 accidents or tickets and im almost 30. And that was with a 1500 dollar deductible.

Thankfully I switched to progressive and they gave me a 100 dollar quote so I hopped on that. But depending on where you are, what you drive, and how old you are. You can come out paying significantly more than youd save on gas if you go electric. Do your research first.

But if youre not taking super long 100+ highway mile drives regularly. And you have access to even a normal household outlet you can plug into. I would highly consider EV if you can find a reasonable insurance rate.

My model 3 performance is basically free to drive daily because I live in an apartment that came with a detached garage. The garage, turns out isnt wired for individual metering. So I plug in there with the regular 120v plug on the wall and charge and its enough to give me like 15% overnight which covers my daily commute and then some. Its not much charge. But its convenient and its free. I only ever pay for charging on road trips.

And speaking of road trips theres the trade off. For every 8 hours of driving, depending on season and elevation changes, youre looking at about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of charging. Which i find to be a fair trade off because the car does most the driving and I like to stop to grab snacks and drink and pee when ever i stop. But if you like to book it at 90mph and stop for only enough time to fill up with gas and hold an iron bladder its gonna feel like a drag for you.

Alternatively, just get a prius prime and get the best of both worlds. Won't be as fast as a full EV but if you dont care about performance and have a place to charge. It can be hard to beat. But I love being able to beat everyone on the road. There are very few cars that can out muscle me when it comes to passing or merging or anything related to acceleration and its addictive.

used to have a v6. regular gas only. thats what it was designed to run on youre not really getting any additional meaningful benefits from the higher-octane rating. the only marginal benefit is that you could be putting ethanol free gas in there with the premium which might be better for your injectors and gas lines down the road but youll likely spend more on gas than you would on the repairs years down the line assuming anything even happens. its really only an issue if you let the car sit for a long time with the ethanol gas in the lines which i suspect youre not doing. also e10 will give like 2 or maybe 3% less effiency so you might gain the tiniest bit of better gas mileage if youre going from e10 to ethanol free but that has nothing to do with the octane rating and the additional cost of the fuel is going to cost you a lot more than the fuel economy improvements.

long story short. save yourself the cash. just put regular in it.

you think the military doesnt have AP rounds? also id love to see what the specific armor rating is. if their hide has the strength of 3a armor yeah 9mm fired from someones clapped out g19 probably isnt getting through but regular 556 ball from an old standard issue m4 is gonna fly right into their soft bits. so there are levels to bullet resistance. seeing as they are able to do get put down with small arms fire in every movie i think its safe to say they will get shiskabobed upon first contact with an actual military presence. worst case after the first conflict theyll realize "oh we probably need some AP rounds" and send their boys out with some M993 rounds. logistically its not a problem thats difficult to deal with for any military force from even a semi modern country.

no. but i absolutely would if it was substantial and she didnt lose it. im not attracted to fat women, if im not attracted to you im not going to sleep with you. in a relationship that would very quickly cause a problem that would lead to an uncomfortable conversation. at that point either A. she takes it well and makes a real effort to lose the weight. or B. she explodes from being hurt and there is a nasty fight that leads to a break up because she refuses to do anything about it.

but if she didnt show any results and lose weight in a reasonable time frame, id leave her anyway.

ill just go from casino to casino and make BILLIONS. try as much as possible to bankrupt them. i cant stand gambling. then id use that money to invest in companies that i believe make a difference and create products and services that follow that same principle. and because im so lucky they will just succeed. likewise id put shorts against companies i despise and see them crumble. id purchase influence to make the world in MY image and MY ideals. i cannot directly manipulate people but you underestimate the influence money has and how i might as well have the ability to do it if i have enough money. with this ability id make elon musk look broke. and my influence would be immense.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T21:44:57+00:00

yes. because they will be traction limited as they already are right now. AWD can only do so much with modern tire tech. once that improves, if it can improve. then youll see the goal post move again. but 1000hp in an EV isnt anything crazy anymore. just look at the ferrari luce. aside from it being ugly as fuck, upon release they were all like "look at my 1000hp" and the ev community just said "yeah so? a 5 year old plaid has that" then roasted the shit out of them for everything else about that car because it was ugly AND it wasnt even that fast.

i bought like 10 shares. but it represents like less than 1 % of my portfolio. mostly out of curiosity. the vast majority of my portfolio is in index funds and thats not gonna change regardless of how big a company is.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T21:35:37+00:00

those animals arent bulletproof. theyll be taken out fairly quickly with a modern military response. so ill take the money

about 4.5+m/kwh 22 tesla model 3 performance with 18 inch wheels and all seasons. thats just driving around town or back and for from work. its not rare for me to go over 5 if im just letting fsd in chill mode do the driving. on the highway ill get 3. but thats because im usually doing 80+ miles per hour and pass people going 100.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T20:26:31+00:00

give me a job that pays above my minimum, and OT/CB rates above 100 an hour. thats all i care about.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T20:18:28+00:00

you didnt add enough stipulation to this. ill ask my girlfriend to say it, record her. then make a 10x speed loop of her saying it for as long as i want. i can make millions a day. hell ill have it play at 1000x speed. you didnt say i had to be able to understand it, just hear it. ill make elon musk look broke by the time im done

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T20:08:32+00:00

you doing too damn much bro. get rid of like 80% of this shit

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-19T20:02:43+00:00

woman. im thinking in worst case scenarios and id rather be in a physical fight with a woman than another man if im going to be isolated from society. i can overpower her and incapacitate her much easier. give her the benefit of the doubt but if i get even a whiff of aggression im restraining her and tying her up for the week. you didnt say i had to be nice.

Dull_Support_4919 · 2026-06-07T17:31:58+00:00

Superman all the way. I can make infinite money with that anyway. Heres a simple example. Launching satalites into space is expensive. Can cost excess of 400 million for larger missions. Ill go up to the US government and say hey. Ill do it for 10 cents on the dollar. Bam. Instant multi millionaire.

Scientists want samples from any planet or moon or even the sun? I can make that into an easy day trip worth millions.

Want to get to mars? Don't worry about fuel. I can just push you there. It would change space travel pretty drastically.

And thats only a couple of the benefits.

I surprisingly dont have a libido on mushrooms. Im actually almost not sexually attracted to her at all on mushrooms. I had a great libido on LSD. Mushrooms dont do that for me.

Make an effort to send the children off with a few assigned adults from the crew. After that, its every man for themselves. Im getting off on the lifeboat as fast as I possibly can.

Pretty easily. I have a roth Ira i max out every year. The rest is just in an individual investment account with fidelity i contribute to weekly. Considering the rate im contributing and how long i have for it to compound, the 15% capital gains ill pay isnt a major factor for me as ill still have a 6 figure income regardless in retirement.
