No cash, no problem!

During my college tenure, I chose to not get a part-time job because I wanted to focus on studying and graduating in the (parent-required) 4 years. But instead of living like a starving college student with no job, I just charged everything to my (many) credit cards. No cash for the cute Abercrombie & Fitch skirt? No problem! No cash for the $1 beer special at my favorite bar? No problem!

Well, turns out it was a problem. Sure, that $1 beer was cheap back in 2007, but now... well, now it is costing me $10. Not such a cheap beer anymore.

What was your stupidest purchase on your credit card? How much do you think you are now really paying for that "discounted" item you charged years ago? It's painful, isn't it?
