Girl math I’ve been exposed to usually doesnt work. Not the way they think it does.
Millennials/gen-z never fail to amuse.
When something costs $100, but is 40% off, buying it makes you $40. I had this discussion with my secretary. As G-d as my witness, this is absolutely true. Women think in a different dimension than men do.
Still better than government maffs.
This explains the explosion in US federal debt following passage of women’s suffrage.
Also known as "Biden math."
Regards,
I had an airman working me in my mil years. One day, he walks into the BX, and there is a mountain bike there on sale...was $5,000 and now priced at $4,100.
He’s about to buy it but notes that complete bike doesn’t exist (no light), so he gets the gal to take off $300.
He then notes scratches on the paint...another $500 off.
When he’s done with all issues...he’s convinced them to sell the new $5k bike for about $1,500. I had just finished reading Trump’s book (The Art of the Deal...it’d been out a decade by then), and I gave him the book to read (after buying the bike). He had natural talents.

Stupid people math is more like it.
I use a version of Girl Math and have taught it to my sons.
Definitely use the “cost per use” calculation before buying anything expensive.
I tend to put 200K miles on a car over 20 years. I also believe that spending $500 per month on a car (payment or repairs) is fair, as long as the car meets my needs. Fuel, insurance and tax are in addition to this. Where we live, this equals about one average Uber trip per day. As the cars age, and I pay off any loan, and the maintenance costs rise. If they average over $500/month on a rolling 12 month basis, I think seriously about getting rid of the car.
My engineer son bought a BMW X2 figuring he would own it 10 years. He only drives about 6000 miles/year. He saved up and bought it for $39K new, including a pre-paid maintenance plan. That works out to $325/month.
Sometimes using the per-cost-of-use method is very revealing.
high maintenance women will break you no matter how much money you make. Avoid them like the plague

Not a new thing. Gracie Allen did this 70 years ago.
As my late MIL used to say, “a woman can throw more out the back door than a man can bring in through the front door”
Cost per use of my annual fed, state & local tax dollars? About $3/hour.
(not counting sales tax, Medicare, SS, etc.)
And what use do I get? If you ask me, it ain’t worth it
Never heard of “girl math” until now.
So, I looked it up on Twitter.
Here’s how the “girls” are explaining it:
(1) They don’t consider cash to be money. Money is only what’s in their bank accounts. So, if they spend cash on something, they believe they bought it free.
(2) If they buy something and then return it for a refund, they think they made money.
Are these girls being sarcastic? This is a joke, right?

Sort of like the ‘percent% off’ sales.
Store/website just raises the prices and then posts a certain % off.
Going out of business %-off sales are different. Stores used to increase the %-off each day to clear out remaining merchandise.
