I don't doubt it's not as fun if I weren't paying my rent. And I've been through times, myself. I'm not currently going through them now, praise Jesus, but I don't delude myself into thinking that I couldn't be there, again.
If my wife continued doing the DoorDash at the amount she's doing it (just under full-time), she'd be doing OK, but by no means "well". Still yet, she'd be making far more than minimum wage if the per-delivery pay doesn't change much. When you say "a lot of people", on paper, that person is "my wife". She's got various skills, but no degree, and she's been out of the professional workforce for so long that the best salary she can expect to make is as a server at one of the local chains[0]. If she found herself in that position, again, there is no question that she'd DoorDash until she could finish up her nursing program.
[0] That's not meant as "she can only make a waitress' salary" -- she had a 3-bedroom apartment with her two kids working as a waitress. It can pay well if you're organized/friendly and employed at the right place.
