Sister and BIL just leased a luxury SUV I know they can’t afford

This thread seems to have brought out quite a few triggered moochers. I'll be damned if any sibling or in-law jams my parents for a freaking $1,000 plus luxury Range Rover payment. That's elderly abuse and/or stealing from my inheritance.

All my mom friends drive big SUVs.

It must be a G Wagon. No Range Rover lease costs that much.

It’s a big fancy one. It’s over $1,000 a month.

How. Do. You. Know.

Let's just say it's the absolute most stripped down Range Rover with no options and the underpowered engine. The MSRP on those are $90k, and I doubt these people care that much about negotiating since it's someone else's money. So, let's say they negotiated to $85k. Even a 0% loan for 60 months would still be $1400 a month and that's before the thousands extra for tax tags and title.

G wagons are $200k. I've had four range rovers. First one I paid cash, but the sport or range rover will definitely be over $1000 a month if they have a decent engine.

The person concerned about her parents spending money because it is "stealing my inheritance" is calling someone else a mooch? Now I've seen everything.

Maybe preemptively ask them now “Well now that taxes are done, are you okay with everything in your financial planning? If you’re finding that you need some help planning for future needs, etc I can help you get some names of planners who can help. We’re frugal because we know there can be unexpected emergencies and I just want to be sure you’ll be okay. I offered the same to Larla but they seem to have different priorities about being financially responsible.”

This is insufferable taken to a new level.

Also, passive-aggressive.

I'll drive the 2006 Matrix I bought with cash, used, and put that $1000 right into the bank. Maybe buy some good beer.

Underpowered engine? You haven't seen underpowered until you've seen my early 90s jeep. 0-60.....someday maybe. But the engine is hammer simple and easy to fix. Oh, and the car was free.
