vehicle leasing - pros and cons?

[HoneyBadger]

Leasing is a really shitty financial decision. I can't think of any good reasons to lease a vehicle. You pay a monthly payment to drive a vehicle that you aren't building equity in. You're just throwing the money away. Car dealerships wouldn't always advertise leases so hard if they didn't make most of their profit margin from them.

If you'd prefer to own your vehicle, then maybe you should pay cash for it, instead of having to budget several hundred dollars a month for the next several years toward an asset that loses value faster than a burning match. If you can't pay cash for it, then maybe you shouldn't buy it. I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but living in perpetual debt is a really miserable existence. Please don't hate me.
