As a lyft rider, I am surprised to have had 3 lyft drivers who moved to the bay area in the 80s, own several houses and have a net worth of several million.

The conversations I have had with lyft drivers have been very interesting. Besides the convenience of not having to drive myself, meeting the drivers has been a wonderful experience. I've learned a lot.

Just today a driver told me: if you are sad, you are too focused in the past, stressed ... too focused on the present, anxious ... too focused on the future.

I've had a few rides with such drivers. Generally they are older and want to continually experience the world, so they drive so they can talk to people about their life experiences. It's one of the cooler and more positive byproducts of this rapid change in the transport economy that has had much media coverage of negatives.
