    [quote=temeculaguy][quote=FormerSanDiegan][quote=scaredycat] In wha other area is buying NOT cheaper than renting. [/quote]

    Since you asked there are plenty of cases where renting is cheaper than buying. Here are some examples :

    1. Renting a seat on an airplane is much cheaper than buying the aircraft for all my trips.

    2. Renting a car when I travel is cheaper than buying one. (Same with the hotel room, etc)

    3. My tux for my Junior prom.

    4. Rent for the hall where we had our wedding reception was cheaper than buying it.

    5. My company’s lease (so far after 5 years) is much less expensive than purchasing a similar building.

    6. I rented an RV several times. Cheaper than buying.

    7. We take a boat to Catalina at least a couple times a year. Renting one is cheaper than buying.

    8. U-haul truck.

    9. Internet access.

    10. Movies on DVD.

    As a wise old curmudgeon I know likes to say, “If it flies, floats or fucks… rent it.”

    First of all, cars don’t ALWAYS depreciate. Watch Mecum for a while. Try buying a ’68 Camaro.

    Enzo has not depreciated in value either.

    TG – I scrolled to the bottom of the page before starting this post and saw
    “#11. Wives” and thought it has to be TG, scroll back up, sure enough. Funny. You have to talk to Spitzer about that.

    Spitzer tried to be an owner and renter at the same time, when he couldn’t afford to do both on a government salary. In other words, he made the same mistake many Americans do time and time again….He overleveraged
