Boomtown


I recently moved to Williston, ND with my wife. She had a job in less than 24 hrs. And I only have to wait for background checks to finish before I start working for 60k+ a year.

The downside? We are living in our 2010 Jetta...

Any of you thinking about cashing in on the new boomtowns yourself?

Yeah, our first goal is to save up enough to buy a travel trailer or something, and get a PO BOX since Wal-Mart doesn't take mail for the people who live in the parking lot.

This is pretty cool stuff, I need no boomtown though. The union hall is empty and its November. Not common. Got work into the next 2 or 3 years. Good news economy wise though, when construction goes up so does the economy.

Yeah, I was working when we moved, but being a cab driver in Vegas right now... hardly worth spending 12 hrs a day on it.

Re: Boomtown


Be careful. Many boomtowns fall through. Not trying to be Mr. Negative Asshole but it is what it is. I'm sure they have some sort of cheap motel you can rent weekly for very little money.

It wouldn't be a real boomtown if there was any place to stay that was cheap

It went all the way down to 0 degrees F, but we were nice and warm in the car.
