With that kind of money, you could leave Oklahoma.

I'm not leaving Oklahoma (ok technically I am, for the trip)

I have a job that will give me $1700 for a ten day trip that they KNOW will only cost me 1k. I do my job well so they treat me well. I'm sticking around for awhile :p

where are you going that your per-diem is only $170 per day?


Shreveport. Hotel is ~70-80 a night, which is shared between myself and my dad

You're taking your dad on a business trip? :confused:

We work together, and pocket an extra $40 a day by sharing a room. I don't hate him that much...

save it you moron
people are losing jobs left and right and the economy is in the worst shape since the great depression
Wrong, the whole reason we're in a depression is because people like you aren't spending. So OP, do your patriotic duty and spend, spend, spend! :thumbsup:

we're all in our own best interest, which means save and prepare for the downtime

Why, so he can someday buy a car for his spoiled brat of a child?

The cost of a business trip is not solely tangible.
