When leasing is a bad idea (yes, sometimes)

These sources analyze the complex financial trade-offs between buying, financing, and leasing vehicles, equipment, and office space. They emphasize that while leasing offers lower monthly payments and updated features, it is often the most expensive long-term choice because consumers pay for the steepest period of depreciation without building equity. Financial experts suggest keeping total car expenses under 15–20% of monthly income and highlight the benefits of owning reliable, used brands like Toyota or Honda to maximize wealth. Beyond vehicles, the texts examine specialized scenarios, such as municipal fleet leasing for government budgets and the hidden occupancy costs of traditional versus flexible office leases. Collectively, the authors argue that true affordability requires looking past sticker prices to consider interest, insurance, maintenance, and opportunity costs. Successful financial planning involves choosing assets that support long-term independence rather than high-depreciation luxury items.
