The Driven Dad

Debt free journey ride alongs using Uber, Lyft, Doordash, and other Gigs!
Working in the Gig Economy has helped me to expand my desire to become independent from working a job. I am using a Tesla to drive my dream of building a legacy to pass on to my kids. If you are interested in learning about Uber, Lyft, Doordash and more, then this channel is a great resource to start!

    I am so glad to see y'all taking this journey! It is totally worth it in the end. Please do not get discouraged and if you have folks that give you a hard time about it, ignore them. As Dave says, it is like taking diet advice from fat people. We went backwards several times before making traction. You are exactly right though, it isn't about math, it is about changing the behavior.

    This is timely for me. I'm considering renting to do delivery and rideshare. What I'm thinking through is the rental payment vs depreciation and insurance and maintenance/repair costs. It seems like a better deal to have your own car, until you are paying $3000 for a transmission, or even $600 for tie rods, not to mention the money for alignments, tires, brakes, and oil changes. Once I put the money aside each week for that stuff, so I have the reserve when the cost comes up, I'm probably paying the same as the rental. I'm basing that on the tax credit given for miles ($0.67/mile). If I take estimated gas out of that, $0.11/mile (based on $3.30/gallon over 30 mpg, I have $0.56/mile, from the tax credit. If I'm driving 150 miles / day over 6 days, that's $504 per week, right where you were with the Tesla. These numbers do not include insurance. Am I crazy or are you in the same spot as you were previously, and maybe worse because of the insurance. I'll be looking forward to see how this goes for you. Thank you for taking the time to document it, allowing all of us to learn with you.

    I would do the Lyft Express program because I don't have other good options in my market. That may change everything, If other platforms do not let me use a rental car. Hmmmm...just thought of that. I'd love to hear some feedback from you and anyone else who may know.

  • @TheDrivenDad
    @TheDrivenDad20 күн бұрын

    My insurance is $150 a month. I get 40-45 mpg and my gas is average 2.85 with gas app savings. I have had to put a bit of maintenance in. I just paid for unlimited alignments at Firestone. 1 time cost of $200. Also the cost to charge is not included in that $550 and the cost of gas/electricity. I found for myself that the mileage deduction on a basically fully depreciated Prius with relatively reasonable maintenance cost was a better tax strategy for myself. My intention also isn't to keep renting but to buy my own cars and rent them to others and my easiest path to that is to not rent and have a car with no payments.

    Beware of Lyft express options lowers how much you're paid per trip I believe by 20% which is already a low rate compared to low rate Uber too. Just fyi. Check out rideshare guy they have a clip about Lyft express paying less.

    Actually Dave Ramsey teaches to pay at least 5% down for first time buyers, 20% down avoids pmi and to get a 15 year fixed where payment is at most 25% of monthly take home pay. Manual under writing with a lender that won't look for a FICO score if your score is undetermined because you have no credit.
