Rent, sure, but many other personal responsibilities are not so kind - especially from vendors who can legally tack on cumulative late fees. Try not paying your Comcast or Verizon bill on time for a month or two and see what happens. The envelope only starts coming in red after quite a few fees are tacked on. [EDIT: Don't actually try that :) ]
