Why Leasing a Car in Retirement ACTUALLY Works

I was completely debt free in retirement. No mortgage. No car payment. No loans. And then transportation decisions slowly brought debt back into my life. In this video, I share the real story of how my car choices evolved in retirement — from owning a paid-off vehicle, to buying newer cars, trying life without a car using Uber, dealing with insurance surprises, costly repairs, and finally leasing for peace of mind. Transportation costs in retirement aren’t just about money — they affect stress, flexibility, and daily life. If you're retired or planning retirement, this is one expense category nobody prepares you for. I’d love to hear how you handle transportation in retirement. Own a car? Lease? Uber? No car at all?
