Go check out what a similar lease to own would cost now. It’s not going to be pretty. Honda wants 22k-30k for those cars. Try budgeting another 600 dollars a month on 36k a year. Keep in mind you only have about 1300 after rent and you still have to pay utilities, food, medical, gas/metro, etc. You could certainly manage it if you live like a hermit and/or don’t put money in savings. But then the second you get an emergency spend you’re going to the payday lender and entering the downward spiral.
