Day 20 (Friday, April 3rd)
I slept in today - all the way until 6am! I've never been one to sleep late. Guess the optimist in me is up and ready to take on a new day. I've always been an early riser. I fed the cats, brewed a pot of coffee, then read yesterday's Wall Street Journal.
One investment I would avoid is in delivery companies. I'm learning quickly that there's no money in it. Today I was scheduled to do Doordash throughout the day. Even during this pandemic, the worst crisis of our generation, when EVERYONE is ordering delivery, the pay after deducting for vehicle expenses is less than minimum wage. Customers just don't care that I am risking my life to bring them food. One McDonald's order did not tip me at all; another gave me a $2 tip. A Panda Express lunch order tipped me $3 - I drove 8 miles to deliver the order. Doordash only pays $2-$4 per order, and I may receive two orders per hour. It's insane. Imagine during normal times how little the pay would be.
Evening food deliveries are more lucrative, but you couldn't live decently from working two nights a week.
