[BITList] Purchasing -v- leasing

[FS]

its an old one but worth keeping in mind

This is an interesting question!!

Purchasing or Leasing - which is better?
Many people cannot decide which is cheaper - purchasing or leasing.
We'd like to help you decide by illustrating two charming stories of 
Foolish men and cunning women.

Purchasing
The maths on the Paul McCartney - Heather Mills divorce was as follows:
After 5 years of marriage, he paid her £32 million.
Assuming he had sex with her every night during their 5 year 
relationship, it ended up with him purchasing her @ £17,500 per time.
This is Heather...
Leasing
On the other hand, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's favourite hooker, 
Kristen, charged $4,000 per night, say £2,500 per night

This is Kristen...
So, had Paul McCartney "employed" Kristen for 5 years @ £2,500 per 
night, he would have paid 5 years x 365 days per year x £2,500 = only 
£4.6 million (including leap years) in total for sex every night.
This represents a £27.4 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 ?Darling ,do you mind ...? lists

Best of all, she leaves and returns when asked, is fore ever grateful 
and tells everybody what a nice person you are.
All at 1/7th the cost and no legal fees.
What does Heather think about this Purchase v Lease conundrum?...
(Hmm - enough said.)
So where would you prefer to be?
Sometimes leasing just seems to make sense!
