Unpopular Opinion: People that constantly use Uber/Lyft every to go to work/school are at fault for blowing their money and being broke.

People may dislike me for this, but I need to say this. I mean if you take Uber/Lyft like sometimes I mean that’s fine, but taking it every day that’s like spending for example, $20 to work and back, or school wherever you’re going. Also depends on the distance too. I mean why spend $40 a day going back and forth to work? It’s better to just take the bus, train or get your license and get your OWN vehicle.

Yes I’m not trying to sound disrespectful or harsh. People can do as they please with their money. That’s really not my business but just have common sense. You wanna blow your whole paycheck on Uber/Lyft?

Im not sure that you understand how Uber works .

If one becomes a trusted regular, prices drop.

Plus .....its actually more environmantally conscientious than owning a car , and being a solo driver .

In fact , studies have shown, thant using public transport and service's like uber is in fact finanically , and environmentally more sound than owning a car , ( in general).

Especially considering fuel, registration, licence fees, insurance and parking , which add up to thousands upon thousands a year.

In fact , some people pay more for parking a day , than an uber woukd cost.

Maybe realise not everyone's dynamics are the same as yours?

@OogieBoogie I guess I never thought of it that way. Look I understand what you’re saying and people can’t afford a vehicle, but wasting like $16-$20 a day is too much. That’s like basically almost a whole paycheck depending on what job you have. This is better to take the bus or have your own car.
