No way I would ever lease a car or rent a home.  That is money you just piss away and never have anything to show for it.

You have absolutely no clue, sorry to tell you that.

A huge house on credit in the f*ing pampa is the main reason why 99,999% of the population will never ever do well financially and one of the main mistakes of the middle class.

But keep going, go in debt at a slapping pace for a house, rob yourself of any flexibility for the next 30 years, pay off you house like 2-3 times of it's net worth over 30 years with all the interest and shit and when you finally are debtless in 30-40 years you got an old f*ing ruin in the pampa which is't worth 30 % of what it was worth initially. So tear it down and start all over again. ;D

haha modern day slavery, I love it. The middle class is so dumb ;D

Same with the car. Save money month by month for 5 years to buy a new car for 60k, be broke again and start saving again for the next 5 years to start all over again. A new car loses like 2/3s of it's value in the first 4 years. A smart investment choice l have to say. ;D

I agree with the car thing. If you buy a new car, don't think of it as an investment or an asset because it'll just frustrate you when you consider the depreciating value. I bought a new car because I'm lazy as fuck and don't want to deal with repairs. But being impulsive I'm actually thinking it might have been better to LEASE a car because I do like upgrading and have already accepted that I've purchased something with depreciating value. It really depends on your mindset and what you hold value in. Some people want $$$ once their loan is paid off and the ability to own the car. I just want something new and shiny that'll get me around.

As for the home thing, I disagree depending on where you live. I would never buy a piece of shit money pit, but a castle is something different. When I hear schmoes at the office talk about how they hate their 27 year old landlord I chuckle. They're paying this guy's mortgage and they have to live in some kid's investment. More often than not, people rent because they can't buy and they have to settle with shit that makes them frustrated and miserable. But then again, if you live in the city or have a great landlord that can make all the difference, but you're still paying someone elses investment so your ROI is nothing but a place to live for that money. When they're in their 40's and have no assets it's sad. Some people would like to have money and a diversified portfolio, but at the end of the day sometimes it's just really nice to have your own home and know that everyone else can FUCK OFF. I thankfully bought a home at a young age, lucked out with location and still managed to start investing in the long term.

For some, the novelty wears off and that's cool too. But I'm over the honeymoon phase of owning a new home and I still love the hell out of it. I like doing repairs and upgrading it and making it comfier each year. When you rent, you don't get the experience of pulling out power tools when there's a knick in your interior paint and turning it into a massive project/upgrade (much to the wife's frustration). I live in an area where my home's value is going to keep climbing up too (just out of dumb luck, not smart planning or anything) so I'm a happier home owner than some.

I've seen people dread and loathe the mistake, but depending on where you live you can sometimes flip it without much of a loss. I want to flip mine and come out as even as I can when I build my next home. The next home will be the one I built with my hands and die in some day. It's not a decision you should rush into. I rushed into buying my home and it was financially difficult, but it ended up being a wicked investment and I hope to buy another rental unit once the wife's done school. Too many variables to blindly say owning a house is a bad investment, because it really depends on the location and what you have value in. I have sentimental and monetary value in my home, so my opinion would be that it can be a very good investment. Just don't rush in and really evaluate what you're looking for exactly. 8)

Most of us don't have to worry about the flies/floats aspect so that leaves cars.  A car isn't an investment.  It gets you from A to B.  I'm not thinking about ROI.  I want reliability, safety, utility, etc, for the useable life of the car.  It's not a 'depreciating asset.'  It's a disposable chattle destined for the scrapyard.

I imagine the cost of the vehicle + maintenance costs/ years on the road < cost of lease over same number of years.  Idk, I never looked into a lease.  But I'd love to be there when someone tells the dealer "The Rock says I should lease."
^^
BEST is one-year rented/leased that are "now for sale", check this out- car was originally $30,400 FULLY LOADED- leather seats, BOSE audio, 305h.p. engine, 6 speed auto...
NOW asking $18,000!!!!!

I agree.  I never understood leasing unless you wanted to upgrade often.

You just made your own point.

Leasing vehicles is only for people who want to have a new car every 2-3 years.

If you drive a car more than that then buy it.

Lot of people don't understand leasing. It's very simple.
On a lease you pretty much pay for the depreciation over your lease period plus interest.

It makes sense for people who have a business and write it off as a business expense. Lot of companies and individuals lease for this reason.

ALso, all the anti lease people. Do some research.

For example Dodge dealers in detroit right now are leasing Dodge Ram trucks for around $250 a month with no money down for 2 years.  That's as cheap as you can get. It's just one example.

Depreciation on that truck in 2 years would greatly exceed the money you would spend on it in a lease.

Most people blindly regurgitate what they've heard and can't do elementary school math on a calculator. They understand that they'll own the vehicle in the end, but what they fail to recognize is the bigger picture - they're paying WAY more than they should to accomplish their task. If they buy slightly used or get a lease, they'll get a vehicle for way less than what they'd pay at the end of their loan term.

what?!  nononono... lol.. I meant fuck the C-Class. lol

the S-Class is a great machine.

I'm older now, and I've done my racing (legally and not legally), so I don't care much about performance. I'm more concerned with safety and comfort. No other car makes me feel as safe with my kids in the back as an S-Class benz... the security is what you pay a premium for. not many other cars have built in roll-cages. lol.

I don't mind the C-500, I'd probably buy a C500 over a 4door 3 Series, but you'll always have that "Envy" when you pull up next to an Eclass, or a 5 series BMW.. the same way an Eclass will always be jealous when they pull up next to an S-Class.

The Genesis is great.. IMO. I have a few clients who have them. great cars for the price. big, almost-full-size sedan with a v8 and allllll the bells and whistles. (although I'm not sure if they have the radar-assist cruise-control), and they can run on 87-gas. $25k for a 2010/2011 with 30K miles and A LOT left on the warranty is hard to beat.

For us regular guys leading is a rip off, better to buy. For the Rock it really doesn't matter because he is so rich.

i'd say living in a big nice house, driving a big nice car, taking big nice travels around the world with your wife

is more than living a little


that's what they do, the rich people, but they still hold their money tight unlike the fools

If it Fucks, Lease it?

Marriage is kind of a Lease isn't it? :D

It calls for the lessee to pay (new clothes) the lessor (wife) for use of an asset (usage of ass, sex).

I have moved in “Old Money” circles in Houston forever. (I am not rich at all, but very well educated. An unemployed engineer who had to make a career change and now work for a non-profit organization).  One of the things I have noticed about “Old Money, River Oaks Houston” households is that you find immaculate 5-15 year old mid level Fords and Chevy’s parked in their driveways and garages.
