I am looking into starting to travel, limited that is, as in just in my own state. Anywho, I guess I am really puzzled as to how the housing,meals etc stipend plays into the hourly or weekly pay. Soo its used obviously to pay your housing :) and then if there is leftover it remains in your pocket? Or?? I am seeing many posts that say for instance a base pay of $30 an hour and then additional housing etc Could someone please, if they have the patience lol, try and make this more clear to me. Thanks!
