Do people who lease cars long term are actually shafting themselves???
And I used to work for a car hire/lease company in the UK...

It allows them to have the car they want rather than the car they can afford

Modern folks have the car, sofa, kitchen, oven , dishwasher, washing machine , new teeth, pets and holidays on finance along with mortgage! Debt is a way of having everything they want now rather than as they can upscale and afford it

Modern folks who didnt get a fat wedge from daddy you mean?

There’s nothing wrong with financing things but people do need to know how to handle their finances also I do think that companies offering financing need to do their homework. There’s a tendency to force debt onto people who aren’t financially savvy.

Just how much do you have to want or have???
Debt should only be used for housing not for cars, unecessary furniture or holidays.
Or just like a socialist politician/government , do young people, have no concept of debt responsibility/repayment???

Some get a fat wedge and waste it, others get one and grow it. Some get nothing and do wonders in life and some are just hardluck stories with chips on their shoulders.

Debt can be a good thing if used responsibly, very very bad thing if used irresponsibly .

Alot have been used to managing debt even from the uni debt days, banks giving OD's to teenagers etc . Turn on the tv and its want want want, fine for folks with wages that can afford all the repayments though

Disgusting encouraging yooof into debt before they start real life with debt , shameful system that encourages this .

That's all OK until interest rates go up.
Remember when interest rates were nearly 30%!!!

Everybodys in so much debt now that they cant put rates up much and if they talk about it people borrow more to discourage it. Government would need massive balls to bankrupt hundreds of thousands of voters, government itself is strapped worse than most

How do you visualise well off, those who have two Range Rovers or Benz's parked on the driveway or the owner of a slightly 70 Series Landcruiser and a fairly new Kia???
