<prompt> Human: EDIT: alright. I concede. This is a bad idea and Id be better off moonlighting at a grocery store or mcyds. Im going to be buying a larger sedan to accommodate my SO, my dog, and myself. I have a 2012 Ford Focus that I might be trading in, but also might be selling to a family member and since it runs good for a 5 year old car with 107k miles on it, I am not too worried about adding some extra miles. That being said, I want to put down as much money as I can on the new car and have a little extra in my emergency fund still and I am considering doing some driving for uber or lyft maybe. I would probably only do it on the weekend and since Im near a college town I feel like I would get a decent amount of work if I only do Friday Saturday nights. How much can you make in those first 2 months? Is it worth it or should I instead try to cut down on all spending and save what I can. I am doing this anyways though.So basically is there any downside other than some extra wear and tear to signing up to drive for lyft part time? Is there any reason not to? Is any extra income better than no extra income? Sorry this isnt all super well thought out but Im not sure where to begin my line of questions I guess. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks PF!  <response>: Where Uber and Lyft excel is in the fact that you work when you want and dont when you cant or dont want to. If you get a part time job at a supermarket, youll make more money but youre stuck with their schedule. Thats basically what it comes down to. Well that and the fact that you might want to work and there are no fares so you sit in your car for an hour and a half doing nothing and getting paid nothing.
