Not sure what you are saying. I don't think I ever said anything is wrong, I gave my opinion on what I would do and why, same as everyone else here that gave an opinion.

I seemed to have hit a nerve because some don't like my opinion.

I don't think it's any different than the people who post that they can't fathom how you could possibly earn a rate of return high enough to justify a lease and investing the rest. I could honesty care less if they think it's possible or not and if they don't think it is, no skin off my back.

I would never say investing it and doing better isn't possible or get mad about it.

You could have taken the money and gone to the casino or invested in some high risk stock and done massively better than the purchase, anything's possible. I haven't seen anyone say it isn't. One thing to consider when looking at potential return on anything is the amount of risk, paying something off early is a zero risk return and no taxes on what you save.

I think you are saying the constant 3-4 year lease is better than the purchase of the new car every 3-4 years and I think you can come out ahead on the lease.

Not talking about you specifically at all, just saying what kinds of comments people make.

I couldn't possibly care less what you or anybody else chooses to drive, but for some reason some people who choose to drive used or old cars (not saying you do this) love to comment that people who buy or lease new cars "are driving cars they can't afford" etc.
