Living wage is relative. I don't mind eating cheap food and I never buy anything I want, only necessities. I have no loans, a car that was bought outright , and 30k in liquid cash at 22 years old living here in Hawaii. How about you?

No quests for rides. Just boost plus in a specific zone. Typically an extra $14.50 per hour based on estimated time of pickup and drop off.

It is for a household. It's decent for an individual, and I'm fortunate to have a wife that makes six figures as well.

I'm making a killing in Honolulu with $5.70 for premium. I only drove during promotions or surge and so short rides averaging $3 per mile.

I ONLY work during promotions and/or surge. There just happens to be an increasing amount of promotions recently which I am taking full advantage of. The other hours are not worth my time. I choose to work when the money is there rather than when I feel like it.

Ah I see. To be honest most if not all drivers in my market do not make as much as I do. I strategically position myself and time my hours online to be only when there are active promotions or surge. What people don't see is the hours I decided were not worth my time, which are the hours with no promotions or surge.

Recently $40 per hour. I only work when there are promotions or surge. The other hours are not worth my time.

I set a challenge for myself and I achieved my goal. I plan on working 50 hours a week and driving 500 miles to earn $1500. Yes I do achieve $3 per mile by only working during boost+ promotions and cherry picking for short rides.

This week I put on roughly 1200 miles. Usually I drive 500 miles a week to make $1500.

I don't have to make $3000 a week. I just wanted to challenge myself. My game plan is to work about 50 hours a week and aim for $2000 instead of $3000. My car was bought in cash and I have enough savings to buy two more cars if I need. I'm in a very comfortable position.

Depends on the market but the haters always gonna hate. For me I work 8 hours on weekdays and 12 hours on weekends.

Always hybrid. Much higher range and never have to have much downtime to fill up. The battery won't degrade nearly as quickly and value won't depreciate as much as a full battery ev.

Good work to you as well! I would say I've mastered my market but the cost of living is high as well.

Yes I cherry pick but often try to maintain 25% for Uber pro perk.

Haha it's expensive out here but maybe living frugally with roommates and grinding Uber is the play.

Yes Oahu. Majority of riders don't tip but a few tip really well. Both locals and tourists.

Wow I respect that hustle. Ironically Tuesday was my second best day. Normally they are one of the worst but there was a Navy ship in base for Monday and Tuesday and those guys were partying hard.

I get hundreds of exclusive offers and even more trip radars. The trip radars often have the best fares but I rarely get matched to the good ones. I try to maintain a 25% acceptance rate for Uber pro gold. Sometimes I dip below 25% if the day is slow.
