Think Leasing a Car is a Good Idea? Tip #1

Data shows that close to 30% of new car transactions are leases. So what’s the advantage, if any, of leasing a vehicle versus buying one?

Those who are struggling with living within their means may opt to lease a vehicle simply to offset the monthly payments by a hundred to a few hundred dollars a month. Keep in mind, however, that at the end of your lease, you will have nothing to show for the money that you spent!
