I currently lease my car and I'm nearing the end of the contract so I had to have someone come and inspect it. I had them come look at it at work because that's where I am all the time and so when the guy came my boss saw him looking at my car.
My boss asked me if I was having car trouble and i explained my lease was almost up, bla bla. She then asked what i was going to drive and I told her I was planning on buying out the lease so I wouldn't have to put money down and have a higher monthly payment, etc etc.
She sort of looked at me and said: "why don't you just buy a new car?" She was being serious. She was really asking me that, completely innocent. I told her - I don't have any money. I don't make very much (btw - she decides my salary). She laughed and said, oh - haha yeah. Well I guess that makes sense then.
Was it really necessary for you to rub my face in the fact that you make enough to just buy cars and I can barely afford the monthly payment? thanks so much.
