Jean Chatzky sends strong message on buying vs. leasing a car
The former NBC Today Show financial editor makes a key point.
For millions of Americans, deciding whether to buy or lease a car is one of the most significant — and confusing — financial decisions they’ll make.
The car market is increasingly complex due to shifting interest rates, tariff concerns, and the rise of electric vehicles. It poses a tough question for consumers: "Should I buy this car outright, or would leasing be the smarter move?"
Former Today Show financial editor and bestselling author Jean Chatzky explores the question in an episode of her "Everyday with Jean Chatzky" podcast.
