    Default Vehicles. Lease vs Buying


    We have always bought vehicles, kept them for upwards of 6 or 7 years, traded in on something else.
    Would you recommend to keep on, or lease?
    My commute to
    - work is 8 miles, round trip.
    - closest lake - 9 miles round trip.
    - Farthest lake - 60 miles round-trip.
    Typically my vehicle is the one we take on vacation, once a year. And for day trips to relatives a couple of times a year.
    As for the mileage limits, I should be fine.
    Other considerations?

    I need to look up Dave Ramsey.
    I've been blessed with my commutes to work, the majority have been less than 20 mile round-trip.
    I didn't want to get rid of my last vehicle as quickly as I did. I didn't like it, from the first time I towed with it. Recently sold it. It sold quicker than we thought it would.

    ​Definitely check out Dave Ramsey.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Buy it outright, run it to 200k, go get another.

    Yeah man . Dave teaches handling finances the way our grandmother did . He definitely has a gift for it . Sometimes when I need motivation I get one of his tapes out and watch it . It's a shame their not teaching this in schools .

    Dave Ramsey's "get out of debt" message is very good, but his investment advice is not so good. If you want to learn investing, there are much better resources available.
