What are some other really expensive, unexpected mistakes to look out for in life?

Question

Examples: You never got a ticket before, you didn't realize that they double the fine if you don't pay on the day it says because you forgot or whatever, then they add on a fee for failure to show for trial, a $30 dollar thing within two months becomes a $1,000 dollar thing.

Example # 2 , Your car has trouble on the road, you get out to call for help, when you come back it's gone, about 30 phone calls later you find out that some towing place has it, they add on a fee for, the tow, storage, vehicle fee, and about 4 other kinds of fees. Then you spend 4 days looking for it and the total goes up up up up....

What are some other examples of things to watch out for along the lines of these having to do with, cars, credit, and ANYTHING else really ?

Basically honest mistakes that end up very expensive.

Answer 1

unplanned pregnancy hun, kids are EXPENSIVE!!!!

Answer 2

Marrying the wrong person, that can be really expensive.  Also dropping out of school can cost you in the long run.

Answer 3

If you are immoral and knock up a chick you don't want to spend the rest of your life with you pay through the nose for a long time. Just say no to loose women and you will be better off. But I guess doing something like that isn't really an "honest" mistake. like with Bill Clinton, lots of lies are usually involved...

Answer 4

Getting a credit card when you're not yet financially mature to handle it.  Can you say $10,000 debt before age 25?

Answer 5

Trusting a bank is a mistake.Bank managers can,have and will,without thinking twice,keep ,and refuse to pay, all the money of their clients and not even think about returning the money that did not belong to them and the clients will loose all their saved money they have been saving for years.Do not trust capitalists to guard your money.

Another unexpected mistake that can occur is a teenage boy having s*x with a teenage girl and getting her impregnated and not knowing what to do afterwards and even thinking that he will go to jail because of it.

Answer 6

My boyfreind opted to not buy long term disability at his job,then he got in a car wreck and has now been off work for 6 months and has to use a cane. That long term disbility would have given him more security because he doesnt know if he will ever be able to work again.Buy good insurance.The insurance he chose not to get was only about  a 12$ a week deduction
