In this week's episode we are breaking down the latest viral social media trend... girl math. I'll be sharing my thoughts on the trend and why although it's a cheeky concept, it can actually be quite damaging to our self concept, relationship with money, and spending habits.
I'll also be offering my best tips and tricks to combat our brains tendency towards this mental gymnastics so that you stop justifying purchases that you know aren't in your long-term well being. Enjoy!

Questions to Ask before a purchase:
- Have I planned this ahead of time?
- Do I have the money for it?
- Am I trying to cope, or buy something that can’t be bought?
- Am I winning on the value exchange? Am I going to get more value out of this than what I’m going to pay for it?
- Is my future self going to be glad I made this purchase?
- Am I evaluating (is no even a possible outcome)? Or am I just trying to justify a spending choice I know isn’t in my best interest?
