What Is Girl Math?

So by now, you have clearly understood the idea behind girl math but here’s how it works. The trend went viral after a TikTok surfaced online in which women were justifying their splurges. One of the examples given in the video was if a girl is spending anything less than $5, then is actually free because that amount literally does not count!

Another way Girl Math is being explained is if a woman buys a bag worth Rs 5000 and uses it for at least 6 months, then the money spent each day will come down to just Rs 27, and that’s not a lot, right? Girl Math is also when a woman spends money on an item that holds no purpose in the present but can become expensive in future, so better to buy beforehand. For example, buying an expensive coat during summer will become more costly during the winter season! While shopping online, the delivery charges can really shock us and can only be avoided after reaching a certain purchase limit, now if we go by the Girl Math, women will add more items to save their money on delivery charges.
