Overview
Daniel cleared all credit card debt originating from a car deposit and travel expenses in Japan by delivering packages for Amazon Flex non-stop for four months.
Daniel remains indebted to his mother for £7,782 after borrowing around £13,000 to settle roughly £17,000 to £18,000 in HMRC back taxes, interest, and penalties stemming from 2018 to 2021 YouTube earnings.
Burned out on delivery driving and frustrated with low net earnings and ongoing car costs totaling roughly £350 per month, Daniel aims to terminate his car financing contract, avoid daily Uber Eats shifts, and focus on YouTube from home while possibly sharing his mother's car.
Daniel intends to repay the debt owed to his mother by holding roughly £5,200 in stocks and £500 in crypto until March or April, anticipating a 10 to 20 percent gain, combined with YouTube revenue, while establishing a rule for 2025 to avoid credit cards and installment plans.
