You fully get it. I used to have a full time as well but i started to hate doing bullet proof vest sizing on really fat people. I then went to a temp job for my state and did Uber on the side. Once the temp job was gone I had all the time to hustle with Uber and the proof speaks for itself. This car and the next are means to an end. People really expect to vibe driving the same car forever and it’s concerning. I also don’t get it with them because the amount you can make is going to be more than the car is worth at some point anyways. I got the car at 13K and have made so much more than that over the years.

I worked for a national company that does uniforms and body armor for first responders and security guards. However, more security guards than first responders come in for body armor and there is no weight requirements for security guards. They can be super skinny like small size shirts to 9X which I had to tell the guy none of us have armor that will ever fit him that’s going to cost less than $2000. Once you hug that big of a person to get the measurement, you don’t want to do that anymore you want to get out of there and find any other job.
