Let’s put this in perspective. A single train fine is often the price of:
- A really nice pair of sneakers.
- A full tank of gas.
- Two tickets to a movie with popcorn and a soda.
- That new video game you’ve been eyeing.
Would you rather have a new game or a piece of paper that says you made a mistake? I know my answer.
Even worse, if the fine goes to collections, it can hurt your credit score. That means buying a car or renting an apartment gets harder. A two-minute shortcut can mess up your life for years.
