Wealth Adviser Discusses Reasons Millionaires Often Avoid Car Purchases, Offers Guidance
According to property investment influencer Abi Hookway, millionaires prefer leasing cars rather than buying or taking loans because leasing aligns better with preserving wealth and efficient financial management.
Key advantages of leasing cars for millionaires include maintaining liquidity and investment capital, lower upfront and ongoing costs, tax and depreciation benefits, and avoiding the hassles of ownership.
By leasing, millionaires can avoid tying up large amounts of cash in a depreciating asset, leaving more capital free for wealth-generating investments such as property or business ventures. Leasing typically requires smaller initial outlays and monthly payments compared to loan repayments or outright purchase, allowing for better cash flow management.
Leasing can offer tax advantages depending on the jurisdiction, since lease payments may be considered expenses rather than capital assets, simplifying accounting for wealthy individuals. Furthermore, leasing eliminates concerns about depreciation, maintenance costs, and resale, which can be time-consuming or financially inefficient for high-net-worth individuals.
Abi Hookway also points out that many wealthy people avoid buying new cars or taking loans to finance vehicles because cars are depreciating liabilities, not appreciating assets. Smart millionaires focus on investing in assets rather than liabilities. Thus, leasing fits their strategy of minimizing exposure to asset depreciation while maximizing investment opportunities.
In summary, Abi Hookway highlights that millionaires lease cars to keep capital free for investments, reduce financial and administrative burdens, and avoid the depreciating cost traps associated with buying or financing vehicles through loans. This strategy allows them to preserve wealth, manage their finances efficiently, and focus on generating passive income from investments.
