I quit my terrible Tech Support job I had every minute was giving me gray hair. I'm making the same as well and girl I'm so happy I don't stress anymore, mental health matters.

Your mental health is way important than working for a stressful company that do not value your hard work. For those of you who's scared to leave your job and you're not happy, just do it. Please remember this, we do not get sick when we're happy. We get sick because we are unhappy. Find peace within and find something that makes you happy. We didn't come to this earth to be miserable. Sending you all love!!

I would like to use this comment to vent. I work security for a cultivation site who also owns a dispensary as well as every license under the sun in cannabis. I accepted willingly but I needed a job coming from the military, from which I was security forces. My current sup was also mil but did not do anything weapons or security related in his career. I make $15 an hour. I am a doorman, security guard, custodian and at times a "dish washer" for plant pots. Knowing my experience and capabilities and not to flaunt a vet status but how is it okay for the CEO who makes probably 10x my salary to not only put an unqualified person in a supervisory role but to pay vets 15 dollars considering the amount of work I put in and assets I protect. Not only have I seen bits of malpractice but everyone who has raised a concern was "let go".

I worked warehouses for 15 years. I just quit the industry and started Door dashing full time. I’m never going back. I’m a lot happier now.

I just quit my job in October. I was miserable. Was there 13 years. And I kept watching these type of videos and just said fuck it. Let's try it. So now I do doordash and grubhub as well as lyft. I made the best decision if my life. Shoutouts to you.

Congrats on quitting your toxic job. It really does affect your mental health and your overall life.

Yeah, it's possible. You'll just be your own independent-contractor and take notes on vehicle maintenance, gas, taxes. Other than that, doing these gig-jobs full-time helps a whole lot.

I just quite last week. Starting door dashing 3 weeks ago made $300 first week $600 the 2nd week and finally hit $850 last week. This was part time now imagine full time 😈. Good luck to you.

Yes girl! I am in the same boat. I’ve worked in retail for 20 years and I’m really trying to escape. Did my first Uber Eats today and felt so free! I wanna do several different apps to fill in the slow times between. Plus I go to school so it’s far better. I’m so glad you made this decision and it’s working out for you 🎉 Gives me inspiration to do the same

Glad to hear you are delivering with your pup, know your area, and the busy times your going to spend less on gas and deliver quick and get good tips! Be safe!

This is absolutely 💯 the exact scenario for me. Everything u said just resonated so much in me. I had just put in my 2 week notice at work yesterday. Thank you so much for this video

you seem so happy and that is good. Keep focusing on what matters. YOU GOT THIS! im a new supporter!

I got laid off nearly 2 years ago due to the pandemic. Stayed on unemployment up until I couldn't anymore. Been dashing about 5 months or so now and make more than I've made at any job working less hours. Dashing is an awesome opportunity. Companies gonna have to work hard to compete against the gig economy.

yes but in the mean time, you will put more miles on your car and the maintain cost is going to rise. Also, if you don't have Asian cars, Gas is pretty expensive also. Also, there is tax so half the money is going for taxes at the end of the year. you are self-employed so you have to pay taxes (1099 form). if oneday, your car give up on you while you are driving, this might get you deactivated and now you don't have a job anymore. I think if you are doing Doordash fulltime, at least you are making youtube or any passive income that generates money in case your vehicle brakes or do this in your free time :3 Best luck to you my fellow dasher :3

Very cute copilots, I am sure they love spending more time with you. :). Hope this past year and the next will be profitable for you. I was also looking at things like taskrabbit, where I could use my existing skills to benefit myself instead of a company.

Very smart decision. Peace of mind is everything and so under looked in our society . Happiness has to be the North Star at the end of the day . 3yrs strong now being an independent contractor driver and have not looked back yet . Support my wife and kid off of it and I love it . Best decision I've ever made . Left a job where I was a department manager and almost everyone tried to convince me of the position I had but the money I was making wasn't worth the back breaking work and responsibilities I had with it where the company wouldn't back me up on anything when employees didn't hold their weight . Don't ever let anyone try to convince you that anything other than your personal happiness matters .

Yo you straight up just read my mind word for word 🤯

I started DoorDash Full time on December 3,21 & I’m loving it

Happy for you 😍

If you think about it, you have tons of inactive time at a 7-5 job where you talk to colleagues or go for a coffee, etc. If you compare that to your active time with DoorDash it's actually pretty relative, but with more freedom. Downtime during DoorDash means spending time with your dogs, watching videos without guilt, basically anything you want. And if you want to go home early, there is no judgement.

I came across your video this gives me hope ive been in retail for over 10 yrs i work an 8-5 job as well. Its pretty sad when jobs dont care about you.

this video really helps inspire me. I'm about ready to put my two notice in at my job and go for this. I doordash just for fun right now and i'm going to go full time here i think. I'm concerned about gas although I have a little fuel efficient car. I'm more worried about income tax and I found out and I can get health insurance from the stride threw doordash

Best decision ever made congrats !!!

I feel the exact same and I’m like well I want to choose me and do what I want want to enjoy and be happy about

The worst part about trying to decide to quit my job to do DoorDash is fear of leaving something behind that I’ve been doing for 20 years. I’ve have worked so many factories in my life that it’s all I know. But it’s starting to wear me down and I have no energy anymore. I want freedom with the option to make money any time I want. In my situation, my small city of 20k people isn’t as busy as major cities but at the same time, my wife works part time so it’s not like I need to make full time paychecks for us to be financially stable. I just need to match her weekly pay and we’ll be ok. But the fear of taking that leap and changing everything I’ve been use to for so many years is the worst part. I have an outdoor channel I do on KZread and it just got monetized but haven’t had the energy to do anything with it lately. Quitting my job for DoorDash would give me more time and energy to get back on that as well.

I was laid off from my job due to Covid after working there for almost 20 years. I did start flipping (5 unit)long term rentals but that’s not a get rich process at all. And I’m just going to wait until this crazy housing market settles down. All my units are being rented and now started doing door dash 4-5 hours a night Mon-Saturday and it’s pretty crazy how much I make. It’s only been about a month. Any input on taxes? I’ve been taking out some from the paycheck weekly just in case. And tracking my miles, but would like to hear someone’s experience filing taxes while working for door dash.

Living in socal and thinking about quitting my office job for DoorDash 😭 I know I can make way more or at least the same amount of money from dashing but I’m scared bc it’s unconventional. But I would have sooo much more time during the day to work on my own business

Much support 🙏

I’m in same situation working at job that no one want help you and lose motivation. I did my first door dash felt peace and learning experience using app communication with customer when I pick up order when I do stack.

I'm sure you know about multi apping at this point, but I quit my warehouse job a month ago and started uber eats and door dash full time. But I'm able to make about 1200 a week working about 7 to 8 hours a day. Granted that's 7 days a week haha. And I'm definitely about to get me a beater car for this

Interesting I would love to get updates on how it's going!

Hi, thanks for the video. I’m a few decades older, just quit my 20+ year job, considering car sales, but also thinking of door dash. I’m concerned about cost of gas, and making enough for bills,,,and INSURANCE,,, I NEED insurance. But, I’m older and need income security, but don’t want to kill myself and not enjoy life .. not sure what will happen yet,, I’m going to second phase of hiring at a car dealership tomorrow.

But instead of getting taxes back end of year you have to pay them, I hope you calculate wear and tear of your car into what you consider pay as well.

I also do Doordash though not full time, one thing to remember though by doing it full time is you are totally responsible for the taxes on that income, so take that into account when you figure out your finances.

How do you figure out how much to take out of a week for taxes

Although doordash pays the bills, I've been doing it about three years and yes you can make up to about average 600 weekly, push it and you can make 1000 in a week plus weekends of course. I fill my tank twice a week, my first car made it to 72,000 miles before serious electrical start, ignition problems. My second car made it to 52,000 miles before it needed spark plugs and an ignition coil and started running badly, spent 700. 00 to repair. My third car I bought with 5,000 miles on it, practically new so hoping for the best but I've went 12,000 miles doordashing within 8 months. So with repairs and fuel costs and taxes it's almost a profit, can be, it's all what you can deal with. Easier than a full time have to clock in be there all day type job.. Very flexible.
