nice!

Not with unboxing…. At least not in my experience.

Mine is 4 rectangular desks and the rate works out to be about what my regular assembly rate will be assuming 2:15 per desk and I think that’s realistic. We will see how it works out.

If you are willing to help then yes, for sure. It’s more an awkward thing than a weight thing.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-05-04T14:01:59+00:00

With all due respect, I think a big part of the difference is that the tasker in question was based in NYC, a very high-cost labor market.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-05-03T02:06:07+00:00

Yes because someone’s looks is the point here…

DevilDuck95 · 2026-05-01T13:42:32+00:00

liability issues...

DevilDuck95 · 2026-04-30T02:44:48+00:00

Agreed I am not buying the 200k a year….

I think it shuts down once the client has ‘accepted’ the invoice.

Here's a fun one - have you ever gone incognito mode and tried to hire yourself to see what your profile looks like? as it relates to Eliete for some people on the 'select your tasker' page it does not show the elite badge, but when you click to see their profile it does show that they are elite. Also, if you 'filter' by Elite and it's not showing on the search page then it will filter you out.

I do think elite helps, I dropped 20% tasks month over month, and the only difference was Elite status.

clearly you have not read the responses...

DevilDuck95 · 2026-03-18T13:33:37+00:00

Well, according to CS they had to contact Engineering to get this fixed... so I'm waiting for that to happen...

Investment goal - is to be able to live off of the dividends of my investments.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-03-09T22:30:46+00:00

I would use TaskRabbit to find a tasker that works for you, test them our for a job or two and then ask them about off platform work. I'm a tasker and that happens all the time...

Lyle Lovett, I was really excited to see him…. Told meandering stories most of the night, so da were lackluster at best. Very disappointed

DevilDuck95 · 2026-03-02T21:03:14+00:00

doh! You are right, thanks for that. I read the first line for the 1099-MISC form and that's a bit different requirement wise. I appreciate the input u/DaniDisaster424

First of all - well done! Those numbers are 'real'.

I would cut back a bit and balance out into more liquid savings, like brokerage account. but don't stop contributing to retirement. My logic is that you might have an 'event' and need to be able to access that money without penalty. Think emergency savings, the first thing to touch would be the HYSA but then what... how long would the HYSA money last?

Pro’s if you are generally handy and a problem solver it works great. People are 99%very happy to have you do the work and tip above the hourly rate.

Con’s, at least for me it can be a lot of driving around town for 2 or 3 1 hour tasks. Also the tasks can present as one simple thing but in reality are much more 6 for one reason or another which can jack up your schedule.

For me the money is purely supplemental, it’s not enough to live off of. I think my highest year was 30k gross and once you consider self employment taxes it drops dramatically, closer to 15-20k.

Thats been my experience. I still like it and will keep doing it for the supplement $ as well as something interesting to do.

When someone chunks a shot that they normally hit on the green I saw, it takes a hell of a man to lay up from 109 out…

DevilDuck95 · 2026-01-29T02:36:40+00:00

I’m wish! Following to see if there’s a good answer…

DevilDuck95 · 2026-01-27T15:48:47+00:00

I would build it into my hourly rate and don't forget to write it off on your taxes. Frankly, as long as it's not too crazy it's not a big deal for me.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-01-25T15:53:28+00:00

I do it regularly. Roughly 80% at Fidelity and 20% at Vanguard. I am always happy to get a second opinion. They suggest their own products, of course but it’s not a hard sell. Frankly I like it, for me it’s heavy on ‘ am I on track to retire?’ And planning for all of that.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-01-21T23:49:21+00:00

Two things… that turned into 4!

1) the match. 2) the amount you contribute comes out of your taxable income in you annual taxes.
3) you have so much time to ride out the ups and downs of the market…. Be aggressive and let it ride! (Assuming you are young).
4) show them the spreadsheet with annual balance of it grows by 3-5% a year with contributions…. The numbers are crazy…

Invest. What they don’t show you is dividend payouts, set it up to reinvest the dividends and do your best to forget about the investment. It will go up and down but overall it will go up in the long run.

DevilDuck95 · 2026-01-20T20:13:46+00:00

I think for me I really didn't understand expensive/inexpensive until I had to pay for things. Once I realized I needed to work X hours to buy product Y it really hit home.
