What is the point in earning money if you dont get to enjoy it ?

You are going to have $20k more enjoyment in a new 750li over a barely used one? Or $40k more enjoyment than from a three year old 745i? If you never learn to be selective over how you spend your money you'll never have any to spend.

And almost all leases are bad deals. Pay cash.

LOL you people on this forum are crazy. Do you people save every dime you make and invest it in 7% yeild investments for 40 years until you die and never get to spend your money ?

The question was if I got a good deal on the lease. Not whether or not it was a good way to spend 40k over 3 years.

What is the point in earning money if you dont get to enjoy it ?

Some of you need to weight that into your calculations and denominations of how much you save per year over how many years times how many percent over how much is taxed minus how much is spent...... ehhh you people are crazy.

No not 40 years - ahout 25 in my case when I plan to retire just before 50. For me I would rather retire 10 years earlier and get out of the rat race early than having an expensive car. I drive a 5 year old Toyota that is fully paid for and I plan to drive it for at least another 5 years and I certainly don't feel deprived. I personally get a lot more enjoyment knowing I paid my mortgage off in full at 30 years old versus having a flashy expensive car...oh I see you live in California...that explains alot too. Gotta keep up with the joneses eh?

OH and as for the lease, it is a bad deal plain and simply. You don't even know the interest rate you are being charged nor do you know what you actually are paying for the car. These are a couple of things I like to know before buying anything but I guess I"m just crazy that way.....

I wonder what's wrong with buying a 2 year old 750 with 20k miles and saving $20k (or more)?

In all seriousness, young poker players have so much money at their hands that they really don't care if it's a bad deal or not--as long as the girl appreciates the ride.

What was the money factor on your lease? Give me this information and I can tell you how good of a deal you got. The money factor is a decimal number that appears on your lease contract.

Its a lot more fun, looking "poor" but being rich, than it is looking rich but being a slave to a bank.
