A millionaire who does not work for his money is different. I am talking about wealthy professionals who have to wake up and go to work and account for their money. You will not find most of them paying cash. Go to the Benz or BMW message boards, all those lawyers and pilots , doctors on there lease their cars.
Jagu you have it wrong. Those lawyers and doctors are thousandaires and not
millionaires..Are you a millionaire? No..What is the cost of an average Luxury
Car? $65, 000? Real millionaires negotiate the best purchase price and write a
check. Carrying a car not on such a small amount of money is incovenient. ... But
the average millionaire, the one who lives modestly, does not go out buying fancy
cars. He is like Ross Perot: He has a reliable car or two that are paid off, like a
Buick Regal or Toyota Avalon....spends modestly, and you never know that he is
worth $4million until the day he dies and his financial numbers come out......The
reason why many lawyers, docs and other high income earners lease or buy at
low rates is that, normally, they have low cash reserves... If they buy a luxury car
it takes a serious dip into the $150, 000 they have on hand. It makes more sense
for them to lease a $44,000 Acura MDX at $550/ month, than pay full installments
for purchase at $983.00 per month.....
