I feel like the biggest piece of s*** that I've ever felt as in my entire life right now. I'm 43 years old, I've owned two companies, I've made $15,000 in a month for a year straight a few years back. Right now I have a mattress and a table with no chairs. I live in a one-bedroom apartment in a nice little place by a quiet beach in between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. I wake up everyday at 4 to go do Rideshare and in the last four days have only made between 50 and $70 in the morning. This morning I got so disgusted that I thought I would kill myself. I can't stand it anymore and came home to get dressed and I'm going to print my resume up on my home printer here and I'm going out to try to find a job selling either boats, cars, or my own anus for pleasure.

I thought you were going to pull up your belt/pants, and scream " I live in a Van, down by the river!'

Somebody link that SNL skip episode please?

May 1st I once again begin my Professional Job. It'll be 4 months off of it.
I gross about $11K/wk at it. I still plan to do a little U/L maybe on destination rides.

Don't give up man! Go out there and find a job. You can do it. Lots of opportunities. I don't know your stituation, but if you are willing to relocate, especially overseas, the opportunities sky rocket. Not just the US is seeing a growing economy now, but in parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, and Near East it is booming. Anyways point is lots of opportunities, I am sure you will find something. If you need help with ideas on job opportunities, ask us here. I am sure plenty including myself would help with whatever info we know about job markets no. Best of luck and don't give up!

Started working from home 4 weeks ago after living off Uber for 4 years. I could no longer drive as they’ve taken so much that it was unrealistic to continue. As of today, life feels so much sweeter all of a sudden. Like a huge burden has been lifted off my back. All anxiety has dissipated all together along with the stress of not knowing if I’ll make enough at the end of the day to get by and pay my bills at the end of the month. The illusion that was provided by uber shattered a long time ago when you realize that you can only make money that is somehow sustainable at only certain times and so, “ working when you want” is pretty useless if when you want to work there’s no money.

It feels good to be back on the 40 hour work week with room for improvement and potential to move up in the company. It feels good to be productive and not have to rely on the car in anyway shape or form for income. I should’ve done this so much sooner, I just didn’t wanna let go of that illusion at all cost .......but the reality catches up to you....eventually, you do need to eat ...

He is an unemployed. He's not even a self-contractor, he's an Uber slave just like you, in your case you're to lazy to get a job and rather work for free. My harsh respond was base on your answer to someone who need help. Sorry if I offend you.
He's a independent businessman to be precise. Slaves are provided room and board (and in some societies occasionally get a mate too).
He should thank the lord every morning for being a free man.
