Uber/Lyft earnings analyses miss the importance of cashflow vs profit. Sure, you might make a low-ish wage after factoring in maintenance & depreciation - but large maintenance expenses happen later, and cash happens now. Drivers can 'borrow' from future at a zero interest rate.
If you are paycheck-to-paycheck and need $3k, and you can earn $3k now but have to pay for a new $2k transmission in 2 years, that's a *great* option. Wage analyses miss the whole point: in periods where you don't have cash, cashflow is all that matters.
Yes, I know. I'm making a very different point. I've talked in some detail to dozens of drivers about their business model. Most made erroneous statements suggesting that they don't understand their business model. This makes them quite likely to make bad decisions.
Of course, that's a far from random sample; I may have misunderstood; etc. I haven't done a study. But I certainly believe that Uber/Lyft are benefiting substantially from a large number of drivers who don't understand the economics of driving.
Or, look for alternative income sources. Cleaning a house may be $30+/hr. Painting a house may be $100+/hr. There's also petsitting, housesitting, babysitting, bartending, etc.
If you are living paycheck to paycheck... You will default in 2 years. But I see your point of buying time, you would need to get out of that business model soon.
