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?

This is precisely why I quit my job after I lost my car. Not to mention, there's hardly any public transit out where I live. Suburbias typically don't have access to that kind of thing. The only real solution for me is to leave the suburbs altogether and move into the city. Actually, if I moved to the city I bet I could bike to work just fine. But you're absolutely right. I worked as a supervisor at a grocery store and was making $17.80 per hour but I still felt its effects. Those Uber rides would sometimes cost even more than $20 dollars because I'd feel bad if I didn't tip so it'd bump up to like $25-33 a day.
