leasing other then a car ...

no...I think that would be wierd....Also I dont understand why people rent furniture from those rental centers.

my friend's borther rented furniture when he was in grad school--he knew he would just be there for a year or two & wasn't sure where he would livign after ward, so he didn't really want to invest in anything.
That made sense, but I can't really see too many other reasons to do it.

Even then, it winds up costing more than cheap furniture would to begin with. My DH works for a computer rental company and it is amazing how many people pay so much more to rent a computer than it would cost to buy a computer. Why wouldn't you just do a payment plan? I would never do it.

Yeah agree- I woudn't do it-- I thinkg people do it when they don't have the $ upfront, but there are payment plans. It depends on the interest I guess, I never compared the 2 options.
I think my friend's brother didn't want to haev to sell or store is furniture later. It was in Pennsylvania, so maybe it wasn't as expensive there.
