Some days are solid, while others are dead. And just when you think you\u2019re ahead, the car needs brakes, or gas jumps a dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to stay on top when your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/smart-money-strategies-for-rideshare-drivers\/\">pay changes every week<\/a>, and the thing you rely on to earn money is also what drains it. But the good news is that you can develop a system that makes your financial life less boom-or-bust. So let\u2019s go over some ways you can ensure you\u2019re in the driver\u2019s seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Move Your Money Before You Spend It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest mistake most rideshare drivers make is keeping all your earnings in one place. By not creating buckets for your money, you set yourself up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/money-related-stress-7-tips-from-psychologists\/\">stress<\/a> in the short- and long-term. The fix is to split your money the second you get paid. Here\u2019s a simple way to start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Move 15% to 20%<\/strong> into a separate account for taxes. It can be sad to sit on money you\u2019d otherwise want in your wallet, but trust us: Ensuring you can cover your taxes means a lot less pain and expense in the long run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Move 5% to 10%<\/strong> into another account for car repairs. This means you\u2019re saving not just for big stuff, but little things like oil changes and random problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/5-fun-savings-challenges-thatll-put-extra-cash-in-your-pocket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small amounts<\/a> help. If you made $200, setting aside $30 for taxes and $10 for car stuff puts you in a better spot than last week. The IRS has great resources for rideshare drivers on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/manage-taxes-for-your-gig-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">preparing for tax season<\/a> and managing your finances, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Good Weeks to Cover the Bad Ones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most drivers have at least one \u201cbad week\u201d every month. But if you\u2019re spending big during your good weeks, that can make the slow ones feel even worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can make a system to help you escape the doldrums:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Look at your last 6 to 8 weeks<\/strong>. Add up your total income and divide by how many weeks you counted to get your average weekly earnings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Move the extra into a separate account<\/strong> each week you earn more than that number. When you earn <em>less<\/em>, use some of that backup to help cover basics \u2014 gas, bills, groceries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you only do this a few times a month, it smooths out the highs and lows, and keeps you from reaching for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-rebound-from-a-maxed-out-credit-card\/\">credit cards<\/a> just to stay afloat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop Losing Money to \u201cDead Miles\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you drive with no rider, are waiting around more than you\u2019re working or go too far for a low-paying order, you&#8217;re spending more than you&#8217;re making. These are called dead miles, and they\u2019re one of the biggest reasons money can simply seem to vanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, use your experience to inform your strategy. Keep track of changes to the app by engaging with your <a href=\"https:\/\/therideshareguy.com\/how-much-do-uber-drivers-make\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business community online<\/a>. Prioritize busy zones during periods of peak demand instead of driving all over the map, or stay in dense areas when delivering food. Some people only drive during surge pricing hours, while others focus on trips with short pickups and stacked rides. No matter what works for you,be sure to track it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check in on your habits too: Your app might show you how much you made, but it doesn\u2019t show how much you <em>kept<\/em>. Look back at your recent high-paying rides and factor in the cost of gas, the length of the drive and whether you were able to get a follow-up ride without needing to drive a significant distance. Your goal is to understand your real earnings \u2014 and what you find should inform your strategy going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set a Quick Check-In Every Few Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A 10-minute check-in every 3 months can save you from a big surprise later. Just ask yourself a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are you putting away enough for taxes?\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did you use your car fund yet?\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did you earn less than you thought this month?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of checking in regularly is to catch issues before they snowball. Based on what you find, you can adjust your approach if needed by bumping up your tax savings a bit, or allocating more funds to your car repair account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Breaks to Avoid Burnout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re always tired, your spending will go up. Energy is the difference between spending money on fast food and cooking yourself a meal before hitting the road. And when you\u2019re putting everything into earning money, you risk filling your social needs with buying stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best medicine for burnout is rest. So while your schedule might change from week-to-week, always make sure you\u2019re taking a day off to rest your brain, body and car. Be thoughtful about getting some exercise and socializing in, too. After all, enjoying your earnings is better when you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondfinance.com\/blog\/how-understanding-your-emotions-can-lead-to-healthier-financial-habits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feeling healthy<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Yourself Some Leeway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/the-rideshare-drivers-guide-to-crushing-credit-card-debt\/\">credit card<\/a>, medical or personal loan debts are eating into your earnings, know that there\u2019s a better way to pay off your debt. With Accredited Debt Relief, you could slash your eligible monthly payments by 40% or more, and even get free from debt in as little as 24-48 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5979_827f74-f9{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:flex-start;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5979_827f74-f9 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5979_827f74-f9\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5979_f8d157-9e.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5979_f8d157-9e.kb-button{background:#d44012;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5979_f8d157-9e.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5979_f8d157-9e.kb-button:focus{background:#952300;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5979_f8d157-9e kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/free-quote\/ocp\/questionnaire\/debt_amount\/\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\"><strong>Talk to Us<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you make your money with an app \u2014 delivering food or driving people around \u2014 you already know how up and down it feels.
