I’m getting tested in a bit over two weeks and today was the pre-exam via video call.

The assistant dude that did the interview asked how fiddly/hyperactive I see myself as, and I was like “eh, a bit but not that far above average” Apparently I had been rotating back and forth in my desk chair for the entirety of the preceding 10 mins, which he did point out :|

Apparently it’s also not called “Girl math”, but “Impulsive over-spending”. SMH my head

On an upside though, he also owns reptiles and was happy to indulge an unreasonable amount of questions about his chameleon!!

      Didn’t know “girl math”? I didn’t either but I don’t think that’s the question.

        A shame OP hasn’t responded yet.

        I’m mostly familiar with ‘girl math’ as a style or flavor or theme in TikTok posts where usually teenage or young adult girls/women explain how…

        Actually, if I buy and then return some shoes or clothes, that is not a net 0 for my budget, but actually I’m making money.

        Or… If I don’t buy a coffee today… that’s actually increasing the amount of money I have… as opposed to, again, it being just null, no impact.

        I am genuinely asking OP this because I’ve personally met a number of younger folks who…

        …seem to actually take this seriously, and think it actually makes sense… not realizing that it is just a collection of utterly nonsensical justifications for frivolous spending… that the ‘math’ is complete bs…

        … while some other younger folks will just laugh and say, hah what no, all those posts are jokes, obviously that’s nonsense, the joke is how stupid it is.
