The Question

The question was, “What starts out cheap but ends up expensive?”  I’m going to go ahead and say that those who answered “life” are a little off base. “Life” actually starts off really expensive with the hospital bill you get after having a baby. That bill alone is a doozy!

An Example

My personal answer was also reflected here, and that’s going to a dollar store. I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a dollar store and ever spent close to a dollar. What traditionally happens is you start picking up dollar deals and before you know it, you’re $35 bucks in “dollars” deep into a bill. In fairness to dollar stores, it’s hard to resist that candy they sell for $6 at the theater when you see it for a dollar (oh, and I need a lint brush, and a screwdriver for sunglasses, and so on...)

The Answers

Due to the overwhelming amount of answers, you may see a few repeats here. We think that everyone who took the time to answer deserves to have their response displayed. I certainly hope if you see a friends name on this list you’ll give them a high five and maybe rib them about their answer. Also, we hope you’ll start answering too.
