Lease vs. Purchase w/ Stratigies

"There will never be a dance party in fifth block applied math." - Mr. Max

We bought/leased cars today with our TVM solvers and/or spreadsheets. The question we are supposed have done by the end of the class is question 3 (involving Maila) on the back side of the first page of the booklet we got yesterday (Personal Finance Review).

While Max kept talking I kept listening and ignored the actual question, so I didn't really get anything done (I don't really like all this stuff anyway).

A useful way to "solve" the purchase problem is to use the PMT function in excel.

I'll expand on everything soon, just need to have something posted.

Cell Phones Are Evil...Or Are They?

Check it out....Ms. Davis has much for us to consider, don't you think? The link appears below, and if you have strong opinions, what are they?
