If You Bought It, Why Are You Complaining?

Money Comments: If You Bought It, Why Are You Complaining?

One of my new favourite websites is a site called Bro Tips. It has short “manly” comments (where “manly” is really a cover for straight common sense, it isn’t gender specific). For a while I read it and thought it was more of a “testosterone-laced” humour site. It actually it does seem to have some very sound money advice.

Every once in a while, they have a reference to money, and they had another good one last week:

A truly manly money comment

Seems pretty sensible to me. Just a simple statement about why you should live with your decisions and stop complaining (isn’t it)? I have heard women say this to each other as well, but it sounds a lot like fatherly advice or brotherly advice.

Here is another simple one, that is a good piece of advice:

I’ll extend that one to if someone gives your kid a lift to an event, buy them a coffee (at least) or drive their kids the next time. Someone does you a favour, you don’t have to gush and overplay things, but you should at least recognize that someone is helping you out.

Manly Money Tips ?

Be a financial “Bro“,  you all know what the right decisions are, do them. Don’t act like you should get a reward for it, doing the right thing’s biggest reward is, you did the right thing. If you hear of someone being convinced to buy a Vodka Hedge fund, step in and ask why they think this is a good idea.

Please don’t construe Manly as being a gender commentary. Be a good friend, who lives to a good credo is really what is meant here. I have already received comments about how this is sexist. My apologies, but that is not the sentiment being put forward.

  1. Hi Big Cajun, this is the first time I’ve heard of bro tips but it sounds like an interesting site. I think I will check it out. And the tips that you (re) shared are very good one and very cool!

    Friends always think of friends – ok, well they should anyway!
