In this episode of Financial Fitness with The Money Doctor, Dr. Frances Rahaim dives into one of the most common money decisions many of us face: should you buy new, lease, or buy used when it comes to a car? 🚗 With warmth and straight‑talk financial clarity, Dr. Rahaim breaks down the hidden costs, long‑term value, and real‑world peace of mind that comes with each choice — all framed in plain language so you can make the best decision for your budget and goals.
This video isn’t about pushing one option over another. It’s about helping you understand what your money is really costing you, from interest to insurance to depreciation and more — and how thinking beyond the monthly payment can lead to smarter financial moves that protect your future.
Why this matters: Big purchase decisions aren’t just about the price tag — they’re about how your money supports your life, goals, and long‑term well‑being. Dr. Rahaim helps you see beneath the surface of common car‑buying traps and invites you into a mindset of clarity, confidence, and calm around your money.
