Buy vs. Lease

I don't really post much - but felt compelled to share, as most will be able to relate to this insight (by the way I think something along the same lines has been posted before - but perhaps not as well as I think this demonstrates the logic).

Purchasing or Leasing - which is better?

Many people cannot decide which is cheaper - purchasing or leasing..

I would like to help you decide by illustrating two charming stories.
Purchasing
The maths on the Paul McCartney - Heather Mills divorce was as follows:
After 5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million.
Assuming he had sex with her every night during their 5 year relationship
It ended up with him purchasing her @ $26,849 per time.

This is Heather...

Leasing
On the other hand,
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's favourite hooker, Kristen,
Charged $4,000 per night.


This is Kristen...

So, had Paul McCartney "employed" Kristen for 5 years @ $4,000 per night,
He would have paid only $7.3 million in total for sex every night.
This represents a $41.7 million saving for Eliot.
What a shrewd man Eliot is, compared to the ageing Beatle.
Further valuable benefits of this Leasing option are;
* a (real) 22 year old
* no need for coaxing / pleading / begging
* never a headache
* happily agrees to all technical requests
* no complaining
* no “Honey - please do this” lists
* has two legs
Best of all, she leaves and returns when asked.
All at 1/7th the cost and no legal fees.

What does Heather think about this Purchase v Lease conundrum?...

Sometimes Leasing just makes more sense.

THE OLD ADAGE STILL HOLDS TRUE.....IF IT FLYS, FUCKS, OR FLOATS.............
RENT IT!

Does the Gov. get to bareback this whore for that price? Does she swallow or spit? Doe she take it in the ass?-lol- Great logic! How do you know who the Gov. is fucking?

I've always been of the opinion leasing is more fun ;-p

Wow, you totally miss the point. Someone here has a Jeff Foxworthy tag "getting married for sex is like buying a 747 for the peanuts". As a lifetime married guy, your comparison is insulting to anyone who marries for love...priceless!
Leasing - after 10 years of payments, you don't own anything.

Buy - well, at least you'll own half of your stuff...

How about a compromise? Buying with an option of leasing others (open marriage)?

Been there, done that, 2x. Buy it? Fuck that, never again. For me, it's a short term lease, drive it like I stole it and walk away when the lease is up.
