IMO nobody gives a FIFO worker anything, they earn every $$$ for the sacrifice they make to be away from the things important to them.
My brother works in WA on 14/7 roster but he loses 2 of the 7 to travel and is a zombie when he gets back here from nightshift and has been up for over 24 hours. If I were him, I would do more with the money earnt, but his money, his choice. He has no spouse or kids (that he admits to), so no real issue. I had a client who wanted to buy a house in Port Hedland for $1.1m, I said buy four other properties away from your income stream for the same money and psend $100k on a god mobile home. They were not happy with me when the houses went to $1.5m, but I'm their smartest guy in the room now. They sold the mobile home for $65k back here in Vic and the houses they bought are now yeilding 15% on the original acquisition cost.
