recently left my 9-5 hourly job. can flipping be decently profitable to make ~$2000 a month?

Glad to have left the hourly entrapment. I've been doing Uber and Lyft since November. While December was very profitable, especially New Year's Day (I recommend people to drive around Christmas and NY's weeks btw), it's been really slow. Yeah sure, I don't have anybody to answer to, but this month has been a strong brake pedal on earnings. And the further toll on my car just *looking* for an area with good rides is much less worth it. I briefly worked in solar sales and I think I'll never go back to that type of job.

Contradicting with the title and first sentence, I'm trying to get a server job in the meanwhile simply for the tips. But I'd like to find a way to at least make high five figures this year (~$80-90k) and have little knowledge on potential hits and a high fear of risk. Idk how some people manage to build ebay stores and ship so many products. Idk how people sell watches or all this other stuff that seemingly has little value. I've thought about buying cars cheaply and working on them with a coworker or two, yet it'd likely be a hassle for the insurance and title. I want to profit, not break my head and break even. I don't understand how some people do it. At the moment I have practically negligible money to spend.

tl;dr - 2025 just started and I want to achieve some financial success even if it's side money, but I'd strongly prefer not to go back to dead-end fast food.
