That gives me an idea. It's like a guillotine but instead of a falling blade it has a slowly descending belt sander.

My [27F] bf [26M] wants to quit his job to drive for Lyft https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/7nkhyj/my_27f_bf_26m_wants_to_quit_his_job_to_drive_for/ quote:My bf and I have been dating for a year, living together for 3 months. We live in a big city so rent is not cheap. I make almost double what my bf does so I end up covering more rent than him and covering all of the utilities. This is almost one full paycheck for me (I am paid every two weeks). I am very lucky to have had the privilege of getting a college degree and I have a fairly good job in my field. But because of the costs I’m covering each month which also include any entertainment costs, all meals out and groceries, and my student loans, I live pretty much paycheck to paycheck.

How much could a "Full-time" Lyft or Uber driver even make? I've never heard anything to suggest it should ever be more than something you do as a side hustle. Fake almost edit: He's planning on doing some kind of rental thing for this? JFC how would you ever make money on that?

You make about minimum wage, assuming that you've got a cheap-to-operate car and are working in an area where you can keep pretty constant fares, which is most major cities. Figure about $6-10/hr after expenses.

I know of at least one person who is making some sort of living driving for Llyft and Uber, and I guess he had some sort of disability from being in a car wreck and needs the flexibility because a straight job would not be ok with him deciding at a moment's notice if he can work or not. He's also someone who always has some misfortune befalling him and is in an open marriage so he is just altogether a drama bomb. He always posts about how he is getting ahead and finally paying off some debt, but then within a week or two after posting that his car breaks down again or he gets in another wreck of had a bad day/week and misses out on some income.

Phanatic posted:That's a pretty lowball estimate, unless it's factoring in depreciation on a brand-new car: Yes, I was factoring in depreciation, insurance, consumables, gas. From that, the overall gross income average was $16/hr, and all of this is also before paying payroll taxes. Compare this to a normal, hourly job where you're not responsible for paying your own payroll taxes. quote:We found that Uber drivers reported earning $15.68 per hour, but since drivers are also responsible for gas, maintenance and depreciation, that number is likely less.

The trick to making decent money with Uber is not paying taxes, ignoring the depreciation on your car, and driving without commercial insurance.

Twerk from Home posted:Yes, I was factoring in depreciation, The car's going to depreciate anyway, no matter what you do with it, so if you're going to count depreciation as a flat hit against wages then you should also account for the fact that a lot of an Uber driver's expenses are deductible ones. When you started at $16/hour and wound up at $6/hour did you include deductions for depreciation, loan interest, registration fees, gas, maintenance, insurance, parking fees, etc? (NB: Assuming driving is pretty much a full-time job, if you're just doing it here and there your deductions for that stuff would be pretty minimal and you'd probably be better off just taking the standard mileage deduction. hypnophant posted:Edit: beat No way does gas and maintenance run $5-$9 per hour, no way.

I would think you could deduct the standard 54 cents per mile that you drive, which would bring your taxable income to almost nothing. I am pretty sure you pay payroll taxes on the net profit so those would be small as well. As a full time uber driver, you wouldn't make much money so your federal tax would essentially be 0% or 10/12% as well.

Yeah these stories really run counter to the pervasive idea that women are gold digging parasites out to pilfer our treasures. Women my age are largely more educated than men my age, especially in Texas Everytime one of my Angry Boi friends starts going on a dumbshit mysogonistic rant I point out to him that my males friends are universally much bigger losers than my female friends, often relying on gf's money to get by or help smooth over dumb life decisions. Anecdotal evidence and all but I think it's important to point out these examples when someone gets too extreme Though sometimes they just double down and claim that "it's so much easier for girls" or something. Anyways as we age this is definitely gonna become much more apparent

Uber drivers are almost always better off taking the standard mileage deduction rather than itemizing the actual expenses and can usually deduct the huge majority of their gross revenue including other non vehicle expenses. Also, of course normal cars depreciate no matter what you do with them but of course cars being clapped out with 40,000+ commercial miles on them every year depreciate a lot faster.

Most women, especially as they get older and find themselves still single, just want someone who can carry their own weight. This indeed will become even more true as the gamer man-baby stereotype, which is so common among the early-20s demographic currently, moves into the later 20s and early 30s demographic. The next 5-10 years is going to be really interesting to watch as the slacker boyfriend leech that is so common now becomes the slacker husband leech, and the breadwinning stressed out girlfriend becomes the breadwinning stressed out wife and mother.
