Lori's boyfriend Steve had poor money management skills. "I'd been dating Steve for about two weeks when he asked me for money the first time. He'd called in to his new, minimum-wage job and gotten fired. He was then unemployed for a month until he got a new job. I paid all his bills during that time so he didn't get evicted ... from his dad's couch."

Eventually, Lori's beau got a new job, but he hated it. "He worked there for two months, then got a new job, so he quit his old job. Or so he said. His first week at his new job, he asked me for money again. It turns out he had left job number two one day and never gone back. For a whole week he got up every morning and 'went to work,' while really sleeping in his car. He had gone way out of his way to lie to me about having a job for that week."

Amazingly Steve found a third job, and Lori stayed with him. She was committed to helping him save money and change his life: "We had it all planned out. For three weeks he told me he put money in the bank and has been saving. The following weekend, he called and asked for money. What happened to yours, I ask? It turns out he spent all his money on 'food, drinks, and weed.' And now his phone bill is due and he needs cash. Where is your paycheck, I ask?"

It turns out, Steve thought he had a pretty good thing going. "Oh, he actually called out of work nine out of the last 15 days and lied to me about it. He got up every morning and drove to a park to sleep in his car. He even called me for lunch and made up details about his day! For nine days! So instead of giving him money for his phone bill, I went out that night, bought a lot of drinks, and took home someone else."
