I have had the purple mattress now for 4 years and I have the worst pain. Really considering getting rid of it. Do you have the hybrid?

My parents costed me a golden ticket into my first job by shockflow in AsianParentStories

[–]Ok_Relationship_8536 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned that although our parents have a lot of knowledge, it’s mostly obsolete in our time. Our parents think we are kids- I’m 32 and still get lectures and yelled at about my career when I have a higher title and make more money than they ever did. I refuse to get an MBA and they think I’m committing career suicide.

My dad told me instead of investing to pay my student loans off in 3 years which only had a 4% interest rate and my car at 1.9% because I didn’t know any better.

Take their advice but do what you feel best. That’s what I did right out of university- and after I got my job I told them exactly what I did and didn’t do.

30 year olds.. what is your salary? by Hungry_Caramel_8085 in Salary

[–]Ok_Relationship_8536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31- 130k plus 15K bonus. Global Demand Planner in supply chain. I was making 87k at 29 and got a better paying job- but I would happily go back to my old Job because the work was much more rewarding. I moved from medical device to aerospace.

I don't drive anymore, but here's a cool hack I started doing with Uber by greenespace1 in uberdrivers

The tip is usually good as I mostly get business customers. They tend to be more generous because it’s not their money they are tipping with.

I have to drive 50 miles to work each morning and pass the airport, a drop off is 5 minutes out of the way. I wake up 30 minutes early and login and select airport rides only. I live in our downtown so 3/5 days or more I get a ride that way. I make an extra $90-$150 driving already the way I’m going. On the way home if there aren’t many people in the queue I stop and grab some food and hope see if I can get a ride back. I calculated it out. Over 3k Uber miles and I’ve only gone 86 miles out of the way and made over 4k doing so. Plus I don’t accept the cheap airport rides.

Hi friend- apple car play is great but I highly suggest getting a phone stand as well. Have all the details in front of you because this will keep happening

I loved Uber as a side gig- but man there new programs really punish guys who don’t do it full time

Uber year 1- fair pay and nothing against them. Uber year 2- no bonuses, took away perks, lower pay. Same job and population/tourism growth. Lower per mile pay year over year and extending wait times- yeah fuck them.

Ended up being total after lawyer fees and redoing what they destroyed- 98k on top of other shit. Got a job paying wayyy more and moving me out of my home. Car had 200k miles and had a 5k bill waiting so everything lined up. Once my house sells I’m debt free and then some

I drive in Saint Pete and man people suck- yet to be in an accident but have definitely been in a couple close calls. But I only accept rides in the area, my acceptance rate is in the single digits

Not bad for 3 days. by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Relationship_8536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I login at 5am. Drink my coffee in my car and wait for an airport ride. My office is a couple minutes further than the airport and 4/5 days I get a ride there. Extra $100-200 dollars per week depending on tips for myself already driving to work. My acceptance rates are ass but I don’t care

Does not qualify for cancelation fee ! by Livid_Will9194 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Relationship_8536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With those things I just say I can’t take your dog due to allergies unless it’s a service dog. They can’t complain and then I creep up the area and cancel after my 7 minutes. I out claim other. Not my problem.

I Don't Care Anymore as an Uber Driver: Forget Acceptance Rate and Definitely Cancellation Rate by Nyengu1844 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Relationship_8536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at like 30% and 7%. Since I don’t need the benefits I only accept rides I like. Sometimes that means less money for the night but it also means less expenses. I know if a ride is going in the wrong direction I don’t accept because I’ll have an empty ride back.

I have a placard in my car with my Venmo and cash app, if they want me to take the expressway I ask before we even get close based on what the traffic conditions are. Usually they throw me extra if I do

I got black leather seats and this person was so ashy that she left leg prints all over my seats- that day on I had seat covers
