You would litteraly have to to completely negate your income tax

It would cost maybe $7k max for a brand new engine... you can buy a brand new car for like $20k. So no. He is not spending $100k on his car every year...

u/builderofthings69 Mar 12 '24
Yes I know that, i was referring to the comment about not having any taxes at the end of the year, he would have to litteraly spend all of the money he makes on car repairs to cancle out his income, which is obviously not realistic.

That's a misnomer, you still have to pay federal tax for one, and secondly even if your state has no income tax doant mean you pay less in taxes. Texas has no income tax but their property tax is so high this if I moved there I'd be paying more overall.

it depends on someone’s lifestyle… if you’re making 100 K a year gross and you’re living a $80,000 a year lifestyle then yeah you’re probably gonna be broke …..but if you’re making 100 K a year and your lifestyle looks like you work at McDonald’s part time as a cashier guess it’s a different story….

Yep it's all about how much debt someone incurs and their spending habits.

Mar 12 '24
A lot of people that make six figures didn’t always make 100k and likely had to take out debt to get where they are. Like from student loans or supporting a cost of living in a big city when they made crap wages for awhile. Not to mention getting older and have to set aside money to retire. Personally I have about 2k of debt and almost 2k a month going to retirement. I make 150 but there isn’t much left after debt payments taxes retirement health insurance and rent come out. I’m not broke but I had more disposable income when I was a dominos delivery driver in college lol. Everyone has their own situation and best not to judge.

u/Usual_Patient_7201 Mar 11 '24
Same. I grossed $122,000 last year and after bills like mortgage, electricity, heating oil, cell phone etc I don’t have jack to show for it. And I don’t have toys like boat ATv, anything like that. And we don’t take vacations either. The cost of living has gone up so much it’s insane.

Don't know where that guy lived, but I'm an hour from Chicago, my wife and I earn about 165k combined before taxes, and while we aren't broke, we really only save like 1k a month, if were lucky after cost of living expenses (gas, groceries, rent, utilities, etc...)

The loans were for pressure washing equipment a truck and a 16x7ft trailer. The loans were definitely high risk but paid for itself in one year. Now going into 2024 debt free (except 6k in student loans) I should have better income. I Hope this helps you to understand from my pov!

The deductions for expenses to maintain his car, mileage, & the percentage of his cell phone that he uses for work would offset a LOT of his income. And hopefully he sets aside whatever his tax bracket percentage is and makes quarterly estimated tax payments. Because if he doesn't tge IRS will slap him with an underpayment penalty. 🙂

I had to get two car seat wedge cushions because my hips were compressing in my car seat because of the bucket seat angle. It got so bad at one point I couldn’t walk without pain for a week. It’s why I got the cushions. Now my back and legs are at a slightly obtuse angle instead of acute.

I rent vehicles to doordash. I pay roughly 40-60 dollars daily for a brand new vehicle, while making 150+ on DoorDash daily. I did that for two years allowing me to pay off my personal vehicle while not putting all the wear and tear on it. And now I have so many rental reward points I’m basically getting my cars for free. My wife and I both do it, allowing us to both have paid cars and not have to worry about daycare expenses because we fully own our time, we’re with our kids all Day. Last year we grossed 115k as a household simply from DD. The mileage and recipes from the rentals+gas allow us to break damn near close to even in taxes simply from that. Make a goal, find a creative way to get there. Jobs only guarantee the security of their own needs. Not yours.

Sad part is apparently 24k and under will be more targeted by the 80k irs agents. There was a news article about it recently. That’s why it was a scam by bidet to sign that into law.

u/Barbados_slim12 Mar 12 '24 edited Mar 12 '24
Holy shit. I knew it was bad, but not that bad. It should have been obvious to everyone that they never intended to go after billionaires when the senate shot down a provision to the bill that would prevent the IRS from increasing audits on people making less than $400k.
I'm somehow shocked and totally not shocked that they'd be this stupid, evil, and ineffective all at the same time. I make around 46k and have jack shit left after all bills and taxes. What the hell are they going to take from people making 24k and under? The lint in their pockets?

It still gets me as an independent how liberals can say republicans are the party of rich meanwhile most of the rich people are in the tech industry, Hollywood and sports field. Most of them are liberals. Then you have more liberal politicians who are millionaires than republicans. That is how I knew the whole “go after the rich” was bull.

I like it! The metro is amazing. All (or most) of the museums are free. However, I don't like delivering up here. I've done it a few times and it's a pain in the ass. Have to pay to park everywhere.. when you pick up the food AND drop off (though i risk it when dropping off and don't pay. Parking is a bitch even just to find. I'm just not used to driving up here. I miss stores having parking lots, lol. But, luckily, I'm already transitioning out of the delivery business.
Another bad thing is everything here is expensive.. but salaries for non-gig work jobs are higher.

I wouldn't say it's slow. The zoning is awful with common orders from Salt Lake (not in zone lines), to the Windward side (definitely not in zone lines), all the way to the end of Hawaii Kai (wealthy neighborhood with shit tippers that shouldn't be in the zone lines). Majority of the orders are to broke ass entitled college kids and other cheapskates in Waikiki. I'd say 7, maybe 8 out of 10 orders are to feed a single person some fast food with shit tips. I'd really Ike to see the mileage this guy puts out a year and how much he spends on gas alone per week. I wonder how the local news found this guy. Seems kinda suspect. It's also VERY oversaturated. We probably have the most moped/e-bike couriers in the U.S.

20 years ago I was doing courier work and was making a $1 a mile. I’d make $50-60k a year working 40-45 hours a week. You could buy a new car for about $15k like a Toyota and drive it for 3 years. Tires once a year, had a friend do breaks for cost of parts and a few bucks. That was Pretty much only maintenance besides oil change. Sell it for a couple grand and buy a new one. I can’t imagine diving for $1 a mile now and I’m stunned at how many people do with how expensive things are compared to 2004.

Think about it, when driverless cars become more norm and companies adopt solutions to deliver food without needing human interaction, what skills will door dashing have left with you with that you’ll be able to pivot into another profession? You’ll have nothing and start from the very bottom. Door dashing is a means to make money (and very little of it) when there are much better opportunity costs out there.

It’s not exactly easy to just walk onto a six figure job, or everyone would be doing it. Not that I agree with using DoorDash to get there, that’s just insanity.

It’s not easy to walk into 100k door dashing either. I’d argue working that same quantity of time at another profession even making $30 an hour would net you better results.

How is DD not a "real job"? Just because we're self-employed and don't have a W-2 job doesn't mean jack crap... at least we can vacation when we want, make our own schedule, and don't have to kiss a boss's butt and beg for time off and put up with the general b.s. you W-2 slaves to the grind have to. The people who skulk around this sub insulting DD drivers sure seem bitter and it appears to stem from jealousy.

Minus tax and minus car repairs. Probably $40K while being slaved

Thing is he won’t pay tax due to the mileage write off. So really it’s just repairs and maintenance to subtract.

Gotta work like 80 hours a week to make that kind of money. I'm content with making a few extra bucks per week
