Leasing vs Financing 🚗

Added: 2026-05-29

[00:00:00]If you think leasing is throwing money away, you're arguing the wrong thing.

[00:00:03]Leasing just means that you're paying for the part of the car that you use.

[00:00:06]Financing means you're paying to own the entire car. So, if you like changing vehicles every 2 or 3 years, stay inside reasonable mileage, want warranty coverage, and want a lower payment, lease can actually make a ton of sense.

[00:00:17]But if you're one of those folks that drive a lot, keep cars for a long time, and want ownership, financing can be the better move. Leasing isn't automatically bad, and financing isn't automatically smart. The smart move is matching the structure to your real life. What are you guys doing? Are you leasing or financing? And how long do you normally keep your cars?
