You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Silver lining...While I was unemployed between college and my first Real Job(tm), I was living the high life. I slept to all hours, went out till dawn, smoked more hookah than my lungs could handle, went to any party or get together I heard, bought whatever I needed and generally fucked about.
Did I coast off savings? Had my carefully collected pennies allowed me to take a few months off in relaxation while I waited for the job offers to come rolling in?
Did I fuck.
I lived off my credit card, and even with the fairly decent income coming in from the frankly miraculous job I got, it will take me years to pay off the debt I accrued in those few months. I have zero savings, and all my future plans for vacations or big purchases are shot to hell.
Conclusion - that silver lining? Don't put it on credit.
