I didn't read all the details, but your path to wealth is renting apartments and leasing cars?

Oh, the third leg of the wealth building stool is buying whatever you want. Got

Who’s wealth building? I do it because I can.

Have you ever owned a new vehicle Huckleberry?

I have. I'm just trying to understand how you see it as making money when you sell after leasing. I don't see how thats possible outside of a very rare situation. Like happened to lease a model that jumped in value during covid or something like that. Are you including the total amount of your lease payments?

I make money over buying.

Hey if you can fix cars that good on ya. Most people can’t or don’t want to.

With the advent of the internet and YouTube videos more and more folks are fixing their own cars not because they want to but because they have to. And you’re doing a good job of trolling everyone on here. The neat thing about the anonymity of the internet is you can be whatever you want. Troll on!

When I buy a car it is cheap.
Usually a junker that needs fixed and I fix it and drive it until someone buys it from me for more money than I have invested in it.

To me that is the only way to come out ahead and not lose any money on buying a car.
I have been offered OVER $30,000 more than my out of pocket for my old truck. I have $4,500 into.

During the pandemic many people sold vehicles for more than they bought them for that is a win.
Anytime you sell a vehicle for less than you have in it you lost money.

I DO NOT care what the book worth value is as that is made up crap to make people feel good about going in the hole.

In order to say a good investment is there you must make more $$$ than you spent.

I have only lost $1200 on a vehicle in my life and that was a 1976 Corvette I sold to a friend.
Sold it for what I paid and tossed in 1200 worth of interior parts.

He still has it with tunnel-ram sticking out of the hood with 2 600cfm carbs on it

I'm now on the swampratt vehicle plan. Newest vehicle is a 2002.
