Episode 60 - The Emotional Rollercoaster: Building Solo as a FIFO Worker
Welcome to episode 60 of The Enthusiast Lab,
In this special follow-up episode, we welcome my younger brother David onto the podcast to share his personal experiences of building a home while navigating life as a solo FIFO (Fly-In-Fly-Out) worker. With David now nearing the end of the admin stage and ready to start construction, we dive deeply into the emotional and mental challenges he's faced on this journey.
David candidly discusses the unique struggles of FIFO life, including maintaining relationships with friends and family amidst his demanding work schedule. He opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of diligently saving for a home deposit, only to face the moment of hesitation when it's time to part with his hard-earned savings.
We also touch on the challenge of delayed gratification in a world accustomed to instant rewards, highlighting the emotional complexities clients like David face while making repayments and deposits without immediately seeing their dream home materialise.
That's it for today's episode!
We hope you found this topic helpful and helps you make a more educated decision on when you start looking into building.
