Add in the fact that you'll never suffer diminished value issues on a lease, and in many cases you're WAY better off.

Also- in many cases renting a house is a way more rational decision than buying. PM me if you want some Econ 101.
So you rent a house or car for x number of years and have nothing to show for it but an empty bank account? Hmmm ok.
The finance company and garage make money from your lease and you give the car or house back after the agreed period with nothing to show for it. Rental is almost as expensive as buying (mortgage) in the UK, and often more so when we talk about the London region. I can't speak for NA, but i suggest you would be hard pressed to make me beleive otherwise
