My Money Story: Driving for Lyft

How a single mom in Los Angeles makes her finances work with a side gig…or two.

Moonlighting, second jobs, side projects. Working a side business in this economy is a fairly common thing.

Sometimes it’s to indulge a passion. Sometimes it’s to make ends meet.

Kim Buckley works to support herself and her daughter in Los Angeles. And her side business turned into….another side business.

Kim works in transportation with the LA unified school district. She also drives for the ride sharing service Lyft. And  that service’s main competition, Uber. 

To hear Kim’s whole story, listen in the audio player above.
