Re: Oo Yah Boh !
Go figure out :
5.30 - 9.30 am Starts work plying the street. Make enough to pay taxi rental.
9.30 - 2.00pm Drive children to in-law Eunos home, Have lunch and even a short nap
2.00 - 6.00pm Afternoon shift.
6pm - 10.00pm Have dinner with family and continue driving to about 10pm before calling it a day.
This kind of life is almost like working for 16 hours each day. Unlike a office working finish work at 6pm can switch off and rest.
Some doubts here : You can suka suka come back home for dinner accurately at 6pm. What if you are at Changi area and need to come back to Woodlands ? Moreover 6pm, everywhere jammed. You do not have to wash your car after a day drive ? Some more can rest on Sunday.
I assumed $7000 is the gross income. So to earn $7000 in 26 days (30 day minus 4 sundays). You have to earn $270 a day. Minus off taxi rental $3000 (30 days x $100), petrol $1300 (26 working days x $50). So the net income per month is $2700. Which is what average taxi driver earning a month. (Im not even mentioning other expense like CBD,ERP,car park, car wash.) So the only winner here is Taxi Company. You rest still have to pay taxi rental.
So if the $7000 is the net income. That means your gross income will be even more than $10000. Everyday you have to earn about $384 !
