Father’s Day Round-Up

Father's Day Roundup

Father’s Day Roundup | brokeGIRLrich

Forgive the “easy out” of a post today. My life is slowly going back to normal after some family uprisings and I’ve been working a bunch of crazy, extra hours to make up for being out of work most of last two weeks.

Despite being totally distracted and not all that great at writing my own posts lately, I have enjoyed a ton of yours. So if you’re looking for some great dad-centric stories, here are a few:

Or if you’ve got an Mom doing double-duty in your household, or grew up that way, here’s a great post honoring her:

My First Financial Role Model @ The New York Budget

If you’re a super procrastinator and still looking for some viable gift options for pops, here are some great suggestions:

And to round things out, some pearls of wisdom I’ve gleaned from my dad over the years:

  • Always pay the extra .50 for Heinz. Sometimes quality is worth it.
  • Spend the extra money if you’re going to regret getting the cheap version later.
  • A $2.00 thrift store shirt that you love is just as good as a $50 department store one, so it never hurts to look there first.
  • Crying doesn’t solve anything.
  • You should try everything twice.
  • There’s no such thing as bored. If you’re bored, you should clearly be cutting the lawn.
  • Always save for a rainy day.

Finally, it wouldn’t be Father’s Day without sharing my favorite bad pun: “I was thinking of moving to Moscow, but there’s no point Russian into things.”

  1. I love this pic of you with your dad! You look so much like him in it! My dad started going bald at 21, so people rarely see the resemblance in us. And your dad is right, sometimes you need to pay a little extra for quality. I have gone generic on A LOT of stuff in my kitchen, but there are some things, like Heinz ketchup, where I will not. 🙂 Thanks for including my posts this week and have an awesome weekend!!!

    • See, sometimes kids actually are listening. The literal ways I have taken “try everything twice” would probably also horrify my dad… “this car says it goes to 140 MPH. Is that real? Yes. We should do it one more time to make sure.”
