To Lease(租赁) or Not to Lease
Planning tolease a car because you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying.
Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back.
get over you
Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease， therefore， allows you to
drive the latest models of moreexpensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it,and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.
Furthermore,people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when thelease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you goover that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up payingthousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have topay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must returnthe car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
By now, thebenefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model youcan afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no givingback, and that makes all the difference.

Mental Illness Hits Small Business Owners Hard
While thereis a growing focus on mental health in the workplace, there are fewer resourcesand support available to those running small businesses.
There aremany reasons people choose to have their own business being their own boss,working on something they love, being able to set their own hours, or havingsome control over whom they work with. Yet the reality many small businessowners face is far less attractive-financial stress, long working hours andunclear boundaries between work and family life. And all of these factors canhave a huge impact on their mental health.
