Life Events
Buying a car
A new car could be one of the most expensive purchases you make. Before you commit to the first vehicle that catches your eye, think about how you plan to use and pay for it.
Keep in mind:
Leasing
generally lets you use a new car over a limited period for a relatively small monthly payment
Buying
may require a larger down payment and higher monthly payments for the life of the loan, but it tends to be less expensive than leasing over time
