High
price of love

The
sisters in the hood are fond of saying “Romance without finance is
a nuisance.” Masters and Johnson,
Kinsley
and others who probe into the essence of romantic relationships have
yet to come up with any better way of stating the salient role funds
play in affairs of the heart.
Certainly,
Valentine’s Day accentuates the appropriateness of visual
demonstrations of affection that are best done with store-bought
items. But so it is with other special occasions ranging from
anniversaries and birthdays to peace offerings.

love gives me such a thrill,
But loving won’t pay my bills!
I need money! That’s what I want!”
