WSJ Your Money Briefing · Understanding the Logic Behind ‘Girl Math’ and ‘Boy Math’ · 16 Oct 2023 podcast

They're trying to think about

what is worth the investment or how can they stomach the amount of money that they're about to spend in a less painful way.

For some people, it is a joke.

And then for other people, it is really just justifying using money that they may or may not have.

So girl math is basically slightly twisted logic, where you sort of justify your spending habits.

So you can call it a cheeky way to consider a purchase.

For example, if you see a sweater, it was originally $100.

And then

You bought it on sale.

The money that you saved from the sale difference, you get to spend or you actually maybe even earned money.

And now you are therefore richer.

I spoke to another source who said that anytime she goes into a store and she doesn't buy something, she walks out richer because she didn't spend the money.

And then she has that money to spend the next day.

Correct.

And the money is actually growing in her mind, which I guess is comforting to her.

I'll say that the girl math hashtag started out on TikTok.

The name was coined by a radio show in New Zealand.

They called it girl math just in response to all the trends that are happening on TikTok right now, like girl dinner and girl walks and so on.

And they created this playful segment where they would allow callers to phone in and talk about their purchases.

And then they would do math and back solve how they could either justify their purchases or maybe even how they're making money.
