   I suppose that's a good idea if you are trading in a car still worth   
   something on a new car you are leasing. Paying 3 years worth of   
   payments up front though will cost you some interest on that money   
   if there's no discount for doing that.

   Keeping active as we get older pays great benefits in the long run.   
   I ran into a neighbour the other day here who is in her late 70's   
   and she told me she walks/jogs 5 km (3 miles) every day. Like me,   
   her age shows most in her face but she looked to be in great shape.
