I see a few comments mentioning taxes, so let me clarify. I include sinking funds in my monthly budget. Those include all of my yearly expenses, which not only include taxes on what I earn but also property taxes, car registration, insurance, etc. Those are all included in my monthly goal, so I did not mention them separately, but rest assured, they are accounted for. ;)
It’s clear you’re on top of things. Which is a completely different case then many people who have debt. I have faith you’re gonna be OK. All three of you. Gd willing. Knocking on my armoire, which is made of wood, etc. Just to be safe. I’m a little superstitious if you didn’t figure it out. Lol hugs and keeping you guys- especially Aiden right now- in my thoughts and prayers too. ❤
@@Gyrospyro can I ask how much more it was per month for quarterly or however it is you do it? Of course I know that probably depends on the vehicle, the age of the vehicle, etc.
@@Gyrospyro sorry I got interrupted but anyway I was just curious if you don’t want to say you don’t have to obviously.
@@Gyrospyroif you were to get into in an accident how do they know you were doordashing?
I write so much off honestly and my husband income never owe anything and made 50,000 in gig work last year.
Gate codes, stairs and apartments are the delivery driver's worst enemies.
I hate apartments!
Amen sister
So true!
I live in an apt complex and almost always stand outside to wave them down. Fortunately in our little community, all the apartments are ground floor. No second or their stories.
As well as probation officer.. I live in apartments and hate doing home visits in apartments because it’s hard to get to
I have to share a funny story! My very first day dashing last April of 2023, I was dropping off a Steak N Shake order and lost my balance and fell flat on my face in front of the customer! So embarrassing, but they were kind about it, especially since I was carrying drinks and a shake, which I somehow managed to SAVE! They literally landed upright beside me on the ground! It helps that they were in a carrier! Talk about a miracle !! 😂
I started doing UE & DD full time last year. I had a full time job that I quit due to it being a drain on my mental health. I worked for this company for 5 years and couldn’t do it any more. I missed so much time with my kids and family and my full time job was draining me emotionally and mentally. I’m not making as much doing gig work, but my mental health is 100x better and I get more time with my family. I know I won’t be doing gig work forever, but for now it’s paying my bills and allowing me the freedom I need to work on myself and spend time with my favorite people. I love watching your videos, you’re hilarious! I’m a local too (in the Tampa area). Love your content and I wish you nothing but success and happiness!
I don’t do it full-time anymore I usually dash and Sarasota area but I’m from Arcadia a small town in Florida. Sometimes I get good orders here sometimes I don’t. I haven’t DoorDash or Uber eats in months. I do have a normal full-time job doing irrigation work. Thank God for that it is weekly pay. I make decent money with that but just like she says any job has its setbacks for sure. As example it is Sunday and I don’t work tomorrow, because the job that was lined up rescheduled, just trying to watch out and say be careful of your choices. Good luck.
That’s the same reason I started it full time in central Florida. It could definitely pay more, but getting sun and natural beauty all day, seeing new towns, getting plenty of exercise, plus the freedom of time definitely beats being in an office or sitting at my computer all day. Hope it treats you well as long as you do it 👌🏾
Same here
@@bobg3221Sarasota here and have wondered how you guys do in this area. Have thought about giving it a try but not excited about putting the miles on my low mileage car or having it smell like a dumpster. I always tip at least $5 on all my orders but curious how everyone else tips around here. Arcadia to Sarasota is a long haul every day.
What about Healthcare for you and your kids?
"You better get hungry and order some food!" LOL you crack me up
I know I was thinking or half expecting her to say “smoke some damn weed already would you !?!” 😂(for anyone who does not know, smoking it famously makes people hungry, which is known as “ getting the munchies” and explains orders late at night for candy and stuff. Aside from pizzas or McDonald’s and other such things.)
No one laugh I know everybody probably knows that but you never know.
when I first started DD I was putting reviews for local restaurants and adding that "it's great they delivery with doordash". Freed advertising helps.
Girl I have everything in Life delivered to me and after watching you I now have a whole new respect for what it is that you do. And now I tip drivers better ! Great Vid I enjoyed watching you and learning from you as well. Be Blessed and I wish you the best of luck.
The only way gig work is somewhat profitable is if you accept minimum $7 order and $2 per mile and constant. You are correct about car expenses and depreciation will shock many people with high mileage cars when its too late down the road. Accepting a $5 order while driving your car at your expense is ridiculous.
20 years ago if you asked a cab driver to pick up food for $5 and deliver it 2 miles away he would laugh in your face. ....20 YEARS AGO!!!!
Today with costs of housing, food , gas etc are triple what it was 20 years ago and people accept $3 offers....LOL
I see ppl driving really nice cars and prob making payments on them and idk how they do it in my area the only way i think its really worth it is to buy a old car that still runs good and know how to work on it yourself. i do doordash but i bought my car for 1200$ and worse case scenario if the engine blows i can replace it myself for 4-600$ and i bought it with 106k on it and it has 138k now with no problems so far just maintenance things
@@dylanjk5946 this is what i have thought of doing, getting a high mileage car specifically for food delivery.
Tru. I accepted a $4 order yesterday cause it was like 2 or 3 miles. Waiting time plus drive time ended up being like 30 min😩. That's less than $8 per hour😭 This work is a scam.
I wouldn't accept a $4 order on a bicycle half mile away...lol@@sheritaa3032
I wouldn't accept a $4 order on a bicycle half mile away...lol@@sheritaa3032
I saw all the "original episodes" and this was a outstanding summary / compilation collection! So fun to watch and relive.
Thank you!
This is the most realistic gig job video I've seen, good job ma'am
I admire this lady for working trying to find the best way to support her family. I think some of the comments are unnecessarily rude.. With inflation, the cost of living, medical, etc. it takes so much to survive. . Good luck.!😮😮😮😮
You might consider the benefits of just going out during peak times rather than staying out all day. It will give you more time at home and may keep you busy enough to get you the money and content you need. Works for me…2.5 years and still love it.
Great idea!
I only do 1pm-6 because that's the busiest in my zone.
Less traffic too!, I think...
9-1 & 5-9
Exactly. You don't have to drive all day unnecessarily. People's experience are different, like hers.
I've been doing it for 2 years now and I only go out from 11 am, catch the lunch boost in fees, then return home at 2pm, rest, and 4 ,out at 5 till 9pm and I still make 100 plus daily. Depends on how affluent the area is.
Lucky for me i make £££££s
This reminded me of those 90s sitcom episodes where they would have someone narrate in the living room while they played flashbacks 😊
This is great news! Once your son is better and you get back to a routine, you can Dash 3 or 4 days a week and get content for your channel. You can show days where you're just running errands, outings with your kids, working on your budget, etc. You're a likable, funny, and interesting person so that's why you're getting more viewers. It was so funny when you "confessed" by showing your Christmas tree was still up.
Yeah, even if a bunch of other gig tubers are shouting her out, people only subscribe and stay and keep watching because they enjoy it. Otherwise, they might throw a few bucks onto the go fund me or send it super sticker or whatever those are called but to keep watching it it’s because you entertain us and touch us at times. We love you meaty mama. ❤
Great idea!
Yes! That’d be great too. I think the key to success on UA-cam is being a genuinely likable creator, and that she is!
I'm so glad you made this video. I've been hoping between gig work and yt you could quit that job. I agree it will be a blessing in disguise.
You are brave walking by a dog of that size. Stranger with hot food. Wonderful it was a friendly pooch.🥰
We love you , Mama, I hope your channel continues to grow. 😊
I shared your video in hopes of your gaining more viewers. I too do gig work and have two special needs teenage sons. Your video where you spoke of wanting to be an advocate struck a chord with me. There is a crisis for young adults who age out …. Though Florida in many ways is worse. Change has to happen. My heart goes out to you and your kiddos.
This is a topic that needs more exposure. I volunteer at a homeless camp and some of the people in there are those who aged out of foster care and those who couldn’t mentally manage any bills or cooking.
There are several families I know here who have severely autistic children and they are worried for their futures when the parents have died.
I loved the editing of this video! Thanks so much for taking the time to do it, I know it's the toughest part of the YT world (well to me at least, and I only did it once. 😅) anyways, I'm so happy you are still posting videos despite what you're going thru! I also loved the one with you and your daughter, I hope to see more of the 2 of you. ❤
Me too I meant to say she looks so much like her mom! Hopefully she’ll be happier to hear that than my girls when people say that or my boys lol😂 as I expected from hearing about her in past videos, she seems like a nice sweet and helpful girl too.
I hope you achieve your dreams and that everything works out well for you. Nothing is more important than time😊
I love your vibe so dang much.. I’d sit and listen to you talk about anything!
I know! Right, RIGHT?
Twoooooo dollas! 😂
I absolutely agree! Her energy is the best ❤
I feel your pain, experiencing everything you mentioned, especially the dogs and falls!
Thank you for making this video. We are so proud of you. It is so cool watching your channel grow so fast and I only started watching in November '23. Way to go MM!
Thank you for sharing! This was such an awesome compilation for pros and cons, so creative as well! Very enjoyable as well as informative. I’m so excited for you in your transition, you’ll do amazing! Thanks for showing us all how to keep your head up even in the tough times! Continued prayers for your son!!
This was really interesting! I’m happy that the UA-cam channel is helping so much! You’re a natural entertainer. 😊
Thank you for sharing!! I enjoy watching you and so glad to see your channel grow.
Such a great video! I’m so happy to hear that your UA-cam channel is paying as well as it is. That makes it well worth all the effort you’re putting in. I hope you’re able to keep the content going during this current setback.
WOW you killed it! Great job! Love this series and happy to see you pumping out the content!
At the end of the day, you have to enjoy what you do and what’s will benefit your family. So excited for your channels growth. You crank them out and we will continue to watch. Love the content. Prayers for your son and daughter and a special one for you ❤
Great video! I’m a gig worker and my son has special needs. I can relate to you! So glad I found you here on UA-cam.
That was AWESOME!! Very candid too. Love love love your channel. ❤
Meaty Mama, you are my inspiration to consider gig work fulltime, I have come to realize that you and I have similar motives to do so. I have learned a lot from you. I've just started dashing less than 3 months ago, and I have already gone through all the things you have listed in your video except for parade. On the topic of "time", I think you did have more time, considering the freedom you had to go dashing at different hours everyday, doing stuff around the house in the morning or taking the entire day off, which is such a blessing. I do understand that you still felt exhausted because "life" got in the way, but I am so inspired by your journey and I want to thank you for sharing it with us out there. I want you to know that I'm praying for you and the children. May God bless your endeavors!
Sounds wonderful!! Best wishes for easier days ahead and praying that God helps you and your children in all things good. Now we have to have faith that prayers of healing are answered for Aiden. God Bless. 🩷🇨🇦
I’m so glad on your decision to continue. Your videos are currently my absolute favorites. you’re so relatable and entertaining, you’re a natural. My prediction is your channel is going to grow super fast! I’m looking forward to more, I’m here for it! Today’s ending was perfection.
😂I had to pause after 5 minutes from laughing. Honey, I feel your pain already! I’m a teen mom with a special needs child also. I do DoorDash mostly. It’s rough. But when you pulled into the wrong lane…😂pause.
So relatable so far!
Oh yeah and I rent. I think it may be cheaper than owning at this point for all the wear and tear.
What an awesome experiment, and with such wild twists, turns, and bumps in the road. Really glad you are here and praying that things ease up so you can get back to grinding soon. It would be awesome if you did a monthly recap once you are back at it!
A great thought out video with great editing! I love your videos. Looking forward to the live and wishing you and your family the best! You got this!👍
You have a great personality for having a UA-cam channel. I know I don’t know you, but I feel like we are friends… Wishing you lots of success in this new endeavor… delivery and video making… You go girl!!!
I really found this video very informative, thank you. Still praying for you and your son. It was nice see you and potato together in the last video.
I’m sure you are going in the right path, I hope everything be more successful and great for you in the future ❤I love your work
I just came across your channel and subscribed. I hated to see that you fell and hurt yourself but you had me cracking up and I needed that this morning. thank you and keep up the hussle and grind.
You’re doing amazing! Keep going!
Excellent video! Very informative with engaging editing. Wishing you and your children all the best.♥️
Thanks for the complete openness and honesty of how much you made from UA-cam. I started my UA-cam channel for that reason exactly and it was nice to see that it is definitely worth the hours of editing I'm doing and hours of filming. I hope i can get to your level on youtube at some point. Thanks again. I watched all the adds on purpose to make sure you get the money from the ads.
I feel so bad when I forget and hit skip when you can. I do that on the bigger channels like news channels, or whatever. I try not to on smaller channels especially that I like a lot. But occasionally I forget.
On the plus side, I always hit like on the videos as soon as I get to them, so I don’t forget at the end. 😊
I subbed and turned on notifications ❤
I swear to God this is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. I remember every single one of these moments from your videos and you compiled all of the best ones!! You are my twin sister across the state here in Ft Lauderdale. I freaking love you.
I love the vibe that you have on your videos. I could listen to you all day. You have brightened my morning up before I start work. Sending positive thoughts from the UK. Love and light 😇
May God Bless you and your kids. I hope your son gets better...
Your channel will be your money maker if you can do it regularly and have enough time to edit.
You are funny and engaging. Showing all the craptastic things you go through makes you likeable, relateable and enjoyable. Keep up the great work!❤
Your commentary brings a smile to my face. I think it's the same internal thoughts we all have as we are driving or just out and about in the world.
Your doing a great job at being a mom and taking care of your kids. Your videos are awesome and I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.
I'm so happy for you. You are so relatable with your ability to be real. I want only the best for you which you truly deserve. Hello to your beautiful children. Always beyond happy to spend time with you. ❤
Girl yes, I hope your channel grows MORE and that you get more time with your kiddos!
This video came up in my feed today. Great info and such an authentic 'keepin' it real' presentation. New subscriber! Thank you!
Perfect recap! I loved the clips of ur past gig work to compliment what you were telling us. 😂❤
Yaayyy! So great to hear you may find some balance with money and family. 🙏
I’m so glad that some good came out of a rough month. ❤ Hoping success keeps finding you! ❤ 💰
Thank you for experimenting with this and breaking it down for us. It’s something that I’m going to be doing soon. I can’t do it full-time, but this gives me some idea.
We got you, Mama.! You are inspirational, and you are as important to us as we are to you. We all love you. Let's continue to share Meaty Mama's page. I cry tears of joy seeing the good people sharing and caring. Your Go Fund Me will continue to grow as well as your subscribers and viewers. You are an outstanding mother and woman. I am honored to have you in my life.
A very informative video. I wish you and your kids the best. I hope your son is doing better.
Nice editing. Felt very organized, like an end of the year TV show summarizing the year
Great work on your video Mama! I've worked with DD UE and IC. The good and bad, ups and downs, dogs, traffic all of that. Keep it real girl. Power to you.👍🙏💃
Such a good, informative video. Thank you!
I remember few years ago, my grandma fell the same way, her foot hit the curbside except she fell flat on her stomach and hit her face. I was so sad, and angry that I wasn’t there to help her thankfully my brother and sister was there to help her and didn’t need to go the the ER but it’s part of life people trip and fall unexpectedly no matter how careful you are. I especially don’t like seeing the elderly fall. She is now with the Lord. By the way Thanks for these videos meaty mama and stay safe out there! #Giglife 🙌
Great video. A Must Watch for anyone thinking of doing gig work.
Thanks for the video Mama! God bless 🙏🏽
I was hoping things would get better for you and they sure have. I'm really happy for you ♥
Love this video!! The future is bright for you. ❤
😂This video was an absolute delight!!!! While also being so informative! It was an awesome way of breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly of gig work while also acknowledging the undeniable great things about it!👍 So happy you see losing your full time job as a blessing in disguise!!! I 100% agree! HOWEVER, I think it was pretty shitty to "let you go" right then under the circumstances!😩 I look forward to each new video you share, and hope the UA-cam, gig work combination continues to only get better and more lucrative for you moving forward!🙏💖
First time viewer. Appreciated your organization and presentation of this gig enterprise. Will be looking forward to new content
Thanks for this video! I've done my small share of dashing. I hated it. BUT I am glad that you're seeing success in your youtube! Keep up the momentum!
This is really a great look at the insight of door dash and other food delivery services. This looks like a great way for someone to make money if there unemployed or retired and just want something to do and looking for extra cash. This is probably not a make a living type of full time job. Thank you for your videos.
I loved this video. We appreciate hearing the truth. Good luck MM ❤
What a GREAT video girl!!!!! Good job! Great delivery..no pun intended! Great footage and really gave people a sense of how this all works! return! You are awesome!i
Thank you for this video. Very educational, informative, and fun to watch.
Wow! Congratulations on stepping out of you're comfort zone. I have seen you grow on utube and be comfortable dashing. Keep up the great work!
I'm so happy for you. I love your videos 😊
Great video, really informative, thanks so much for sharing all that detail! :)
You are hysterical! As a fellow Uber Driver I could relate to your detours and the building scene had me cracking up! Thanks for bringing some humor to our hard work.
Bless your heart for making a living for your family. I just found your channel . My son lost his job in CO and he is Door Dashing after substitute teaching all day. He lost a very good job in Finance. Here is is with a Masters degree in finance and he is working day and night to pay bills. MY DIL is a teacher and grateful to have her job. It is tough out there. I feel for you with your kids and trying to make it work. Not all hero's wear capes and you are one of my heros. Godpseed...
Look for work in smaller companies with HR/ accounting needs. That’s how my sister managed. Another is any government entity, library, recreation sept, town hall etc.
I’m glad this worked out for you. Seems like the universe is telling you to pivot 😊 A fresh start can be nice.
Your video is the most realistic and most honest video. I’ve watched from all of these gig workers. Thank you for your true honesty I appreciate you.
I ❤ you video! You’re the most personable & real person I’ve seen talking about the good the bad & the ugly of doing this job. I just started today & the ONLY order I got was to an apartment complex & I wanted to cry trying to find the apartment building
What a wonderful flashback video ☺️ I love how you broke down your earnings for February and with YT it really helped to maximize your earnings! I’m so happy for you that your channel is growing. I pray that it just keeps growing so you don’t have to go out and grind 5-6 days a week so you can spend more time with your family and doing other things ❤
You just made my day.. Thank you ❤️☺️☺️
This was the best video ever . Your funny and real and brilliant . You nailed every point I've been through with Uber Eats . 🎉🎉🎉
I feel your pain, I hope things improve for you, I will pray for an abundance to be delivered to you x
Great video Mama, all the best 🎉💖
Yelling oh my God in the car 😅 stop you have the gift of laughter that makes us enjoy watching your videos thank you ❤
Great video! This gave me some things to think about as I am a full time dasher.
Congrats!! Love your content and rooting for you, I hope this transition is exactly what you needed :)
Hello Dear , I was listening to Chuck @ Dashing Across America and your son's medical problems . Wishing Y'all the best of luck in this trying time .
❤
🎉hanks for an informative video. BrenPGrace sent his subscribers to you when he heard your son was in the hospital. That is how I found you. 😊
I’m loving that this video is getting attention! Almost 20k views! MAMA that’s awesome! Great job and I’m hoping that you realize this is your calling! There are thousands of people loving you and your life!
Thanks for the info. This was a huge help. I just recently started dashing on the side
In my experience, Ford will not honor any extended warranty of theirs (and they do not even recognize any other warranties from other companies) if you are using your car for taxi/uber or delivery services. Just check out your car’s warranty before you decide to do this type of work.
I’ve fallen before. I broke my wrist trying to stop my fall with my hands…you just do it; it’s automatic. I was in a hurry and turned quickly and stumbled. The quick turn I made disoriented me, and I felt dizzy I guess.
Never walk with an item in front of you that causes you not to be able to see what’s in front of your feet…like a pizza box, books or a large bag. Try to carry it off to the side. Watch where you are going at all times, and slow down when you walk. Don’t let anyone or anything cause you to “hurry.” Scope out the area before you walk it. Look for obstacles and things you could trip over/on. Wear appropriate, comfortable shoes. Keep a first aid kit in your car. Wear a “purse” around your waist and keep items there to free up your hands. Stay safe out there.
Remember, do not try to reason with scary, weird, threatening people. Call 911 and get into your car and leave.
I was sad at the beginning because you didn't make your money target. But forgot the you tube sales I am so happy it worked out. Plus you can create your hours work hours big benefit to you with the kids. Once the debts are pain & you have some emergency saved you can work less hours. Its going to all come together & hope door dash & uber eats start paying better. Great video for anyone interested in starting out. Hang in there Mama!!!
I just came across your channel, and i found it to be very helpful! I think you're smart for dashing and doing youtube at the same time...making money while making money !!! I love it your a true hustler!
Great video. I also left a job that I no longer enjoyed and was wondering what I was going to do. Door dashing wasn’t a thought for me but appreciate this video and you insight so THANK YOU!!! As an older woman myself I decided to go back into waitressing. I waitresses for 13 years in my younger years and loved it then and I’m loving it now. I’m receiving good tips and I don’t have to deal with the previous office job stuff. I walk in and walk out and I’m done for the day. Kudos to you for having a UA-cam channel. I look forward to watching another video!!!
Love the compilation video!! I do Instacart because my young adult son has a medical condition that keeps him from driving, so I drive him to his college classes and whatever he needs to do. Gig work is the only job that gives me the flexibility to be available for my family. I do a little DoorDash, but I prefer Instacart. I drive a minivan, so I have to be super picky about mileage. I try to pick orders going in whatever direction I’m already going. I take the kid to class 30 minutes away and try to grab an IC order heading towards home, might as well get paid to drive where I’m going anyway. Keep it up Mama! Thanks for sharing the updates on your son.
I’ve been taking people to medical appointments, the ones where they hey want you accompanied for family or a friend ( colonoscopies, wisdom teeth removed, etc). You’d be surprised how many people have no one to help.
I bring books to read while I wait and afterward I get them home safe with their post-op instructions and meds.
It’s something maybe you could do too. Pays well right away.
We adore your content!!! ❤
I enjoyed this video immensely. I appreciate you keeping it all the way real!
WooHoo! glad it’s paying off for you, hon! this content was really great. You’ve gotten very good at editing your videos. I haven’t watched any since last fall so this is very entertaining. ❤
