TV shows: Business Making Money

I agree with Matt - leasing can get you into something a bit more expensive than a loan can. Leasing also gives you the option (at the end of the lease term) to purchase the lease vehicle or just turn it in. And if you're lease something you wouldn't mind keeping long-term after the lease ends --- you've just had an extended test drive.

I just turned in my 1st-ever leased vehicle (mostly driven by the wife) last year. It was a pretty good experience. About 2-3 months prior to the lease ending, the local dealer sent a vehicle specialist to look over the car to evaluate total mileage, wear-and-tear, & provide estimated end-of-lease costs --- giving me enough time to get repairs (if needed) before the car was due to be turned-in. The doors had bunch of scratches for misc parking lots and the kids. I only needed to replace 2 tires @ $275 for the pair & we were way under our allotted mileage. That was it.

I would lease again. My wife is a bit hesitant to lease again though. She said she fealt that she had to be extra-careful with the car all the time, but if fact, she was doing only what she should have been doing initially --- being responsible for the car like any other good consumer. She acts like she lost sleep over scratches on the car --- she didn't think about wear-and-tear until the lease was ending. She doesn't realize that leasing allowed her to drive a car that she wouldn't have signed a 4-5 yr loan for.

Good! After what he pulled, he should be paying up!

A New Jersey judge has ordered Real Housewives of New Jersey castmember Teresa Giudice's husband, Juicy Joe, to fork over $260,000 to former business partner Joe Mastropole, after the reality star forged his signature on a mortgage document - and then bullshit his way into taking out another loan and pocketing $1 million!

Judge Morris Stern ruled yesterday:

"The signing of Mastropole's name was a forgery… exhibiting willfulness and malice toward a former friend and current adversar. The extraordinary web of lies and misrepresentations woven by Giudice to implement and cover his misconduct reflects on his approach to business matters and suggest his disregard for legal restraints which would bind others. Joe Giudice was both thoroughly unconvincing as a witness and unbounded as a prevaricator in spinning a tale about the events."

Mastropole's attorney Monica Chacon later said:

"Little by little the truth is starting to show who these people really are and exactly what they are all about. The question now is after being declared a fraud and having the debt to Mastropole survive the bankruptcy, will the Giudices ever actually pay it or will this continue to be a game of catch me if you can? Apparently Teresa is too stupid to know what her husband has been doing or she has got us all fooled. Her day of reckoning is still to come."

Meanwhile, Mastropole himself came forward, and claims he doubts he'll ever see the money back, despite the court order!

He elaborates:

“I’m disappointed because she’s [Teresa] the one making income and his money is fraudulent, untraceable and untaxed. She’s the only one bringing money in right now…You can’t really go after him. Even though I’m an exception to his discharge, I think his money is untraceable so it will be hard for me to recover any debt.”

So deplorable!

We sincerely hope he does see that money, but if not - we think that karma will come around to them eventually!

You can only spend outside of your means for so long! We just hope that those children don't have to suffer because of it!

Thoughts??
