"If you have been on TikTok lately, you have likely encountered the TikTok trend where women explain and justify spending habits as “girl math.“
It appears to have originated from clips by a New Zealand radio show called “Fletch, Vaughan & Hayley” on the topic. The girl math segments go like this: a caller will share the price of a big purchase like spending about $999 on a luxury tote, or $5,600 on four nights of Taylor Swift tickets, or a $699 Dyson hair dryer. And then the hosts help the caller justify the exorbitant price by estimating the number of times it is expected to be used or what the caller may be saving in return, so that the total is “basically free.” Girl math."
