$14,000 Telephone Rental
Aaccording to an NBC News Story, an 82 year old Grand Mother and her family got a first hand lesson in the cost of leasing.
She first leased two black rotary phones -- the kind with a round dial -- in the 1960s.
Until two months ago, She was still paying AT&T to use the phones -- $29.10 every three months, the phone company says.
The family estimates her payments topped $14,000 over more than 40 years.
Moral of the story is check grandmas phone bill for crazy charges that she has been paying for years.
