Thats all well and good if you never want to own anything. You can end up with 21 grand down on a car after a typical 5 year lease and you'd still have to buy it for what its now worth or end up with nothing to show for all your payments.

To own a honda accord after a lease you would end up paying 35-37 grand for a car that was originally worth 30 grand to begin with.
