'Girl Maths' is a system used by TikTokkers to justify a big purchase in a way that makes no mathematical sense. But what message does that send about women and money? Read more on Grazia.
As TikTok obsessives, we love a new trend, and this summer has been full of them. We've had ‘girl dinners’, ‘hot girl walks’ and ‘rat girls’, to name a few.
In one clip, the hosts conclude that a designer bag is ‘basically free’ because its versatility means you’re ‘getting four bags in one.’ In another video, they work out that a Dyson hairdryer is actually making the caller money because they’re saving $100 on getting professional blowdries four times a week.
In another video, user @mckennaelianna shares some examples of this confusing way of thinking, saying ‘Anything under $5 is free, anything I buy with a gift card is free, if I buy something and then I return it, I’ve made money. Going to an event or a concert is free because I purchased the tickets so long ago it doesn't even count.’
Plus, why should women - or anyone, in fact – feel the need to justify their spending? While we’re all feeling the squeeze due to the cost-of-living crisis, that’s not to say that we aren’t able to make intelligent decisions about our finances.
