The only idea that comes to mind is working for the mining industry in Austalia. My cousin's husband was a carpenter there and apparently made bank. Although from the stories they told me, most would not save a significant portion. Apparently they tend to work 14 days on, 14 days off or in similar arrangements, and be flown in and out around their shifts. A significant portion of their colleagues would choose to fly to Bali instead of their respective Australian cities, spend their 14 days off there and immediately use up their wages. Weird lifestyle overall.
