You might have to settle for "Mr. Right now on the spot and available!" he might be righteous
A woman posted this picture on Facebook and it made me think, what are women really looking for these days in a man?
As we are counting down the days to the end of the year. Many who have had less than fantastic relationships are thinking Where, ooh where is Mr. Right?
Here is one mother that is protecting her son from himself and the money loving young women he will meet in the NBA.
Michael Carter-Williams transition into the NBA wasn't long. In his first game with the Philadelphia 76ers, he finished with 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals, 7 rebounds and just one turnover in 36 minutes, in the season-opening victory over the Miami Heat. His nine steals were an NBA record for a rookie in his first game. But his transition to making millions is something his mother wanted to make sure didn't take the 22-year-old by storm.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Carter-Williams' mother, Mandy Carter-Zegarowski, along with her best friend, Traci Tracy, who function as his management team, put his entire rookie salary into a trust that he can't touch for three years, ensuring that Carter-Williams will not be a NBA flame-out, at least financially.
Carter-Williams' rookie contract guarantees him $4.5 million over his first two seasons. He could make a total of $10 million if the Sixers pick up the final two seasons of his contract, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But Carter-Williams' wallet isn't empty. The point guard still has Nike and Panini trading cards endorsement money to blow. So he has a few million Dollars and Mom says grow-up before You can spend it. This is exactly how I think parents should protect their talented sons and daughters.
As New Year's Eve approaches many women will lurking in the bushes like predators waiting for unsuspecting men who may not see them coming.
Did you ever wish that you had a way of knowing how to get the most out of life?
The Man’s Guide to Life.Check out his tips on how men can keep it real.
1) Hit The Road, Jack
There’s only one way to become a man of the world. Listen, man: your lack of a passport is not the right business. Neither is having an empty wallet. In fact, for the ultimate lesson in code switching, don’t just get out of your neighborhood; leave the country. Nothing gets your grown-man card punched like venturing so far from home that you need a new language just to ask for toilet paper. It also informs you about the larger World in ways that staying close to home never can. The perspective you’ll gain from say, spending J’ouvert morning dancing through the streets of Port of Spain (that Trinidad if you don't know where that is, look it up) or a few nights in surprisingly modern Tripoli or touring museums in Paris just can’t be rivaled in familiar environs.
Travel brings other advantages: “If you look at any travel group, anywhere, it’s always 70 to 80 percent women and 20 percent men. I don’t know what the reason is for that, but I know it’d be different if you saw how the women react when they do see men traveling in their circles.”
A righteous man ain’t perfect, but he does his best.
So Who is your Santa?
2) Cash Rules
Every man needs to keep his money on his mind. There won’t be any weekend jaunts to St. Tropez if the money’s funny. Staying on top of your finances is what makes everything else around you tick; after all, what’s the point of working every day with nothing to show for it? Although a Pew Research study stated that as many as 40 percent of mothers are now the breadwinners in their households, that doesn’t mean men or women have let go of the idea that we need to be able to hold our own at the bank to be worth our salt.
Put another way: A fringe benefit of making sure your financial house is in order is that it gives you a leg up with ladies who are interested in working with a brother to build something for the future. But whether you’re single or partnered, you need to know how to budget, save and invest. Tips on how to get your financial house in order can be found in the November issue of EBONY.
So you see ladies Mr. Right might be A righteous Dude, but you might have to go and find him on the beach somewhere other than where you live.
Watch out for the EYE of the tiger.
