So over lunch I was down at an auto service shop, and I overheard a college student telling another customer about hitting a deer 2 weeks after getting a new(!) car. She says it was a $14k Chevy Aveo (OK, so at least it wasn't an expensive new car) -- but wait, she didn't buy it or finance it, she's leasing it! (because she has no credit, she says. Huh?) For $93/week! My head about to explode, I miss a few words, and then hear "yeah, I guess it's expensive, but it's a necessary expense."
Edited to fix the cost.
