TO RENT, LEASE OR PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE, EV OR GAS?

I suppose adding up the # of vehicles one owned the last 50 years,
maybe 20 or so, then asking ones-self, When adding up just the purchase
prices of those vehicles, did they run around the value of the home you live in?
Say around + - / $200,000 / $300,000 +?

Do I change my behavior, or do I want a new-one, more? Say 1/4 the value of your home?

Maybe some just take the Metro Link to the Airport and fly someplace cool if they want to travel some?
No insurance/fuel/parking/car payment/property taxes/license/pollution test bills either. There are
cool places to stay near the airport too. My regional airport is within 10 miles of me.

Should I change my lifestyle to be cool? Mmmmm, I never met a wealthy person in their Rolls.
They fly past all the time in their Leased Jets ! Mmmm, Can I change? Can I select a sedentary daily
life and weekend Jet setter way? Would I feel like mud at the riverbank or the fast waters flow.

Should I trust the FAA to lead my way thru the friendly skies?

............... Sweet Deloris ....................
... Thank you for your hospitality! You have
been such a sweet blessing in my life.

............... I meant to send you a sympathy card
but I was too busy and procrastinated. Sorry for
your loss of Dean. So many you have loved and
cared for have left you. I know it has been hard
after the departure of Deron! You poured so much
tender love but couldn't fix his problems. How I
had hoped it might have!

.............. Please take care of yourself, buy really nice
expensive shoes that fit well and maybe you won't
take such hard falls again. Lot's of us love you &
need your hospit5ality and help too.

............. I can't come to see you for some time. Shirley's
coming around again to see me. Please text me if you need
too. We can work something into our schedules, I'm sure.

__________ Until then your confusing Buddy, just kidding, Pal,
======================= ..... JB .....
