Leasing can feel like the perfect “less hassle” solution in your 60s: predictable payments, a newer car, and no big repair surprises. But a lot of people don’t realize how quickly small clauses can turn a simple deal into an expensive, stressful commitment. The problem usually isn’t the monthly number you negotiated, it’s what happens when your driving needs change, your health shifts, or you decide you want to keep the vehicle longer than planned. Those moments are when the fine print starts charging rent. If you’ve been considering leasing again, it’s worth reading the agreement like a skeptic before you sign.
