Lease versus buy

I just do not understand the concept of lease versus buy.

Why is it so much cheaper to lease than it is to buy.

You get zero percent interest on a lease, and over 8 on a buy.

Plus the dealership ends up with the car back.

My sublime green daytona charger I want is $46,000.00 Canadian plus 6% GST.

No matter how many times I told the salesman I was looking at buying as an investment versus leasing and turning back in, all he would do is tell me the pitfalls of buying. I just do not get it.

And would someone please please please take my headache away.

if you lease you will be paying for the car and turning it back in and the bank or dealership will have another customer due to the fact that you will need another car later....i leased twice before and now i own. if i had my way i would lease forever but then you will alway have a note to pay and never own anything

I have no idea why leasing is such a big deal either. If something goes wrong with the vehicle you have to pay to get it fixed. I have never leased and I never will. It's a complete waste of money. Of course, that's just my opinion.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.
