I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

That's exactly why leasecels are fricking themselves over lol. It's the same as why getting a mortgage is better than renting, except the resale value for cars is more predictable than the real estate market.
It's fine for people with money. Buying and selling is going to save a decent amount of money, but if it'd be a real issue if the car got totaled it makes sense to lease as more or less as insurance against that. My experience is that rich people get off on putting 400k miles on some old Buick or F150, but they're not going to have money problems because they leased rather than bought. The people fricking themselves over are the ones that shouldn't be in new cars at all.

Are you r-slurred? Every single car you would ever lease is worth less than 40% of it's sticker after the lease period. Cars depreciate, houses appreciate.

Are you? You aren't getting a lease for 60% of the car's value. That 40% you get from selling it more than offsets the extra spent up front.

It's crazy how you don't understand you can sell things you own but not things you're renting. There's no math that makes up for that.

Here's some math:
A 2020 Camaro base model had an MSRP of 25k and now has a KBB trade in value of 19k. Even if we "round down" to 15k that's 60% of the car's initial value. Let's assume it could be leased for $400 for four years (you couldn't, I'm being very generous). You would have spent 20k leasing. Unless you think you can make up the 10k difference in savings after selling the vehicle by making that in market gains on 25k over that period, you would have been better off owning and selling back the vehicle over leasing.
