I take your point also to be that such financial decisions are personal and situational, and no matter what they are, some element of luck is going to be involved as to how it works out.
I will make one blanket statement I think holds up very well--unless you're starting it yourself, don't go anywhere near a "multilevel marketing" scheme.
Agreed on the pyramid schemes...Though if you ARE at the top, they're great.
I'm not sure how a car lease can go wrong, since everything is spelled out in the contract. I have hear horror stories of people who went over the mileage limits and were charged big penalties, but that's all in a contract. (Disclaimer: I've never leased a car, so there may be aspects with which I'm unfamiliar.)
