For your consideration: Five Ways A LAD Will Cost You.

This post is for the ladies. So, everyone else, sit back.

We figured we’d address a time-honored problem between women and LADs. Here’s the list of things your LAD will cost you:

1. Your Health: This one is easy. Even though your LAD might not kill you with bubonic plague or cholera, a case of HPV or syphilis will empty your purse in terms of medical expenses and travel costs to and from the doctor.
2. Your Crib: This one is a little more interesting. If you’re shacking with your LAD, and then you find out that 1) It’s not going to work, or 2) He’s cheating, or 3) His mother doesn’t like you living there, so you have to move, or 4) He keeps telling you it’s your place, when it’s really his, you need to have an emergency back up plan. If your mail is coming to his crib and your license reads his address, etc., then you break up, you’ve got a lot of back tracking to do to get your logistics together. This will cost you time and therefore money!

3. Your Ride: Same deal with the crib. Lots of ladies wind up with LADs, and then wind up relying on their LAD’s car to get to their job, do their job or any other number of activities leading to self-sufficiency without the LAD.
4. Your Credit Score: We see this one a lot, unfortunately. Ladies co-sign for cars and credit cards with their LADs. Why do you ladies do this? We know. We know. You do it because you’re in love and you trust him. You usually don’t find out your LAD is a LAD till it’s too late. But hey! That’s why you read TheMoneyKings.com. We’ll set you straight. Hell, if you’re curious about whether or not your man is a LAD, sneak into his email account or read the recent calls on his cell. A little bit of investigative work can lead to eye-opening clues that can save you a world of hurt in the future.
5. Your Sanity: Counseling bills ain’t cheap in the slightest. You’re running around with this LAD. By the time you figure out he’s no good, you’re all emotional and hooked. You’re planning kids and cars, and he’s looking at tramps in bars. It’s a problem that you gotta face up front, before you wind up in the LCSW or shrink’s office shelling out thousands trying to figure out WHY and HOW while mired in reflections of how you thought everything was great, and how you thought you made him happy, etc.

The Money Kings wish we had a litmus test for ladies to use to figure out if their man is a LAD. The best we could come up with was this little 5 point warning.

Some of you regular readers might be wondering why this post isn’t categorized under our notorious Sexual Sundays column. Really, this post isn’t about relationships. Dealing with LADs, in this case, isn’t really something related to both parties.

LAD management is a woman’s duty. Sort of like checking for cervical cancer. It’s just something a woman has to look out for in order to keep her financial house in order, because ultimately LADs will cost her in the long run.

You don’t know?

Well, for the uninformed: A LAD is a . . .

You know what we’re talking about.

Good luck out there.
