Lehrgeld zahlen: to learn things the hard way (literally, to pay tuition; to pay to learn)
zB:Leute, die nicht auf vernuenftigen Rat hoeren wollen, muessen oft viel Lehrgeld zahlen.
auf Englisch: People who don't like to listen to sound advice often have to learn things the hard way.
(from the Guide to German Idioms by J.P. Lupson)
