i prefer to not own a car after 4 years because i dont like unexpected repairs an a 4 year old car is ripe of them. i prefer to spend as little as i can on a car, i dont like seeing my $$ tied up in metal and bolts in my driveway and becoming worth less and less each month.
my goal is to be as upside down as possible in my car, but that doesnt mean i drive a car i cant afford, just that i want the bank to subsidize it as much as possible.
but thats me.

That's you, and that makes sense,
But a lot of leasers go out and upgrade from the car that would have cost $550/mth to own, and get a car that's $550/mth to lease. This completely eliminates the financial benefit leasing might have gave them, but gets them a nicer car they couldn't otherwise afford.
