    He is absolutely right. A car lease always has additional costs in addition to the purchase price, such as processing fees, a down payment, monthly lease payments that cover taxes and depreciation, a refundable security deposit, which is either forfeited due to not settlement of lease or adjusted in the last payment and normal use and mileage restrictions.
    Through statistical analysis, one can readily learn about the successful and bad outcomes of car leasing. The ratio will show how financially literate the average American is in the context of a car lease settlement and whether there is any terrifying financial crisis lurking in the shadows, similar to what happened with the housing mortgage debacle.

    Ten years ago I was buying a car and the salesman left before the purchase order was finished. He needed to go see "their Wells Fargo guy" that just arrived at the dealership. All the sales and finance people stopped what they were doing to go rub elbows with him. No need to hide who their real customers were.

    Consumer Financial literacy depends on a consistent framework for loan documents, rather than a hodgepodge of trickery

      $1000 a month. What's that? Oh I thought you asked how much more money I have every month since I've gone car-free. Oh and my rent is cheaper here in the city and the grocery store is a block away. Anywho have fun slaving away to pay for your means to an end. Ta!
