Side Hustle Reality Check | Taxes, Time & Truth

We’ve been told that "the grind" is the only path to freedom. But for 39% of Americans, the side hustle is actually a financial trap. In this video, we dismantle the Side Hustle Squeeze. Using real 2026 numbers—including the updated IRS mileage rate of 72.5 cents—we calculate why most gig economy work actually pays less than minimum wage when you account for depreciation, taxes, and "unpaid theater." 📉 THE REALITY: Kevin made $6,200 driving for Uber. After expenses, his "profit" was barely $3,000. But after accounting for his missed raise at his day job and his health decline, Kevin actually lost money. INSIDE THE SQUEEZE: The Invisible Ledger: Why car depreciation is a "loan" you're taking from your future self. Opportunity Cost: Is your $10/hour delivery gig stealing your chance at a $10,000 raise? Cognitive Cost: Why decision fatigue is the enemy of high-leverage wealth. The Escape Velocity: How to move from "Time-for-Money" to "Asset-Building." #SideHustleSqueeze #GigEconomy #FinancialTrap #BobbyInvests #WealthBuilding DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes.
