😡 The PROBLEM with Girl Math 😡 Debunking Gender Stereotypes 

20 years ago I was training a new guy at Wendy's, it was his first day at his first job, and he told me he was going to be getting paid 50 cents more than me. Well have fun training yourself! That was my last day :)

FYI, there is no federally required curriculum for public schools. If you want it taught in your local schools, let your school district know. It is more effective than hoping for the feds to fix it. Also, you might be surprised that it is taught.

THANK YOU for not reposting any clips (from what I watched) of this BS and just dropping knowledge. Personally I’m on a low buy/no buy stretch of months after getting a full grasp of my financial situation in comparison to my long term financial goals. I had to face reality and trends like these strongly reinforce my decision to stop using social media apps like instagram, twitter and Tik tok (shudders).

“Who betta den’ me 🧢“ 😂 👏👏👏

I'm a single mum who became a homeowner last year. It was a huge milestone for me! On top of that, I'm also fortunate enough to have a pretty decent monthly income through my successful strategic investments. As a result, I have carefully planned for my retirement after my kids are done with college

so we are trying to get a house atm, and our aunt just told us they would give us 500 bucks, and my husband is like, hey we have money for fun stuff! and im like, no? we dont, we have 6 different things we need to spend money on and that 500 bucks is gonna go to that number 1 , like what do you mean we have money to spend?

Please open up a financial school for young girls/ boys for summer school . I cannot find one . That would be cool to get them “money smart “. I have a 10 year old granddaughter that i wanted to sign up if you ever open one .

It's wildly and weirdly misogynistic

In many Asian countries women managed the money

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly

love this channel

Just a little addition to the pay differences in those companies, women take more time off on average and don't usually work the same hours as men. This factors into that so called total. Also we have not been taught how to negotiate our salaries.

I’m terrible with money. I don’t understand why women “suffer” just because were told of a mistake we are doing? If it wasn’t for my boyfriend, I’d have no money I had saved but because he informed me, I’m more financially knowledgeable and capable of saving money.

a year ago I was hit in the back from a yunger guy . He admitted to the police that we has distracted on the gps. I am Hispanic the boy was white. He was a nice kid only 19 . I was 35. The police ask him if I was driving out of control or not in my lanes. He perdon the kids and did not give him a ticket😢.

Absolutely! Budgeting at minimum should be taught. Its not because TPTB benifit from poorly educated people and the best way to stick it to the man is educate yourself. Especially money. Folks are discouraged from transparancy because it brings to light all the inequalities and the cheating employers engage in. You know what to do!

WHY HER face always looked spaced out or she always look tired?

I don't know about women managing their money better than men. Sure, I think women can manage their money. Also, occasionally you find "girl math" ideas that are actually smart. The insurance premiums are calculated not based only on whom causes the most accidents. Regarding single women buying homes, do they have help from the parents? That's another issue you're not talking about. Or are they divorced? If they were upper class or even upper middle class, that divorce can help them with buying a home. The funny part is that women take on debt to go to college but often go to humanities and if it's not languages (translators and such), there won't be much demand for their qualifications. They will end up doing something else. That also explains why men don't graduate as much. Men go to STEM fields more. Regarding women being hired for high paying jobs, you have to take DEI into account. There was a study by some feminists about this. They basically changed the voices and speech patterns of men and women. Women ended up getting the job far less in those cases. If men apply more for the same jobs, sure there's a bigger chance a guy with fewer qualifications will apply. Thing is if women start doing that too, there's a pretty big chance a woman with half or a third of your qualifications will do that too. How are you going to teach personal finance if they don't know math? Personal fonance is not the most important subject in school. You definitely need reading also. You also need math.

i was soo lucky in my school we had an investing game and everyone could take part in that group so glad i did btw love how u took a feminist pov on the whole girl math thing girl just love u 💕💕

There was a lot of girl power in this video! Made me think of a long Big Think monologue with author Richard Reeves from earlier this year that discusses a lot of the data you went through (and a ton more) on how young men are increasingly falling behind women today in just about everything, how the tables have completely turned since the 70's, and how we're heading towards a crisis in the other direction of men being hopelessly far behind due to the modern world much more favoring success for stereotypes instilled on women compared with men (notably in education, but also other areas). Would recommend a listen (on YT): "Why men and boys are struggling | Richard Reeves" I know Viv loves girl power, but the data in this video points to young men needing the financial wisdom she dispenses just as much or more. Great content as usual though, even if this video felt a bit heavy on shaming my gender.

Why do companies not hire only women then? if they work for less money?

When I have a daughter I'm going to show her this video, so she grows confident and knowing she's fully capable

Your stuff is incredible.Keep up the great work. Can we get a short on investing/ saving options for Americans living and working overseas? Can’t use an IRA bc this income is untaxed so looking for other ideas.

I can testify Mrs Maria is a great being. Thank you for making my life a joyful one after several debt. I got my first profit of $45,000, After losing a lot from trading, I was able to clear my debt and start up a good business.. GOD Bless you Mam

Yesssss preach 🙌

I thought you were smart, you know, as well as I do that inequality between men and women is bogus. There is a difference between income and earnings.

No, please, do continue to teach us how to earn more instead of how to economise/cut off the budget ❤

pls get a new editor bestie

Only a true feminist would get this triggered over a tiktok trend

Women aren’t better with money men subsidize their social lives allowing them to save more. Think dating and social norms that require “good” men to pay for mostly everything. So on paper it would appear women manage their money better without taking into account how much they save by having a significant other. Also women are more likely to get parental help than men because societally speaking we don’t shame women for living at home while they save and they are looked at as more worthy of help. Men are expected to do it on their own because it’s more manly. So many things wrong with this analysis

Yes thank you for speaking up about this issue!! I find that tik tok trend so demeaning, it’s like really? We’re still at this? My grandma worked her whole life and paid off my grandpas car debt, and thanks to your channel I’m inspired to be that same kind of financial leader. But just because I’m not eating only peanut butter for dinner or buying a pair of jeans when my old ones don’t fit me anymore doesn’t mean I’m not capable of managing money 😠

If you have financial skills go with your girlfriends to the bank. Help them open savings, checking, brokerage accts. You will change their lives and change the world!

I bought my first home in 2019 with an FHA loan as a single mom. I sold it 2 years later bought a better home and remodeled it, created an in laws quarter for rental income, put new impact windows and doors and had to redo the roof and ac will be out of debt in about 3 years. Purchased my leased car, once the debt is paid off the car will be paid off in less than 2 years. Then that money will go to the savings account of 4% APY, mortgages principal and Roth IRA. I plan to be debt free even after having education (paid that loan off a long time ago) my home and car. Goals! Dedication! Consistency, keep your eye on the prize! Financial freedom! I wish to work part time in less than 10 years. I’m currently 40. Had to make sacrifices, not swimming in money just cutting out unnecessary expenses and controlling shopping.

Thank you for posting this! ❤

3:42 Has me curious how much major plays a role--with women very underrepresented in engineering/sciences that tend to be majors more likely to take longer than 4 years to complete.

Yes!! your videos are amazing. I am happy to say that I talk about salary and finances with at least a few of my closest friends. its great!! 💰💰

Thank you. This is exactly what I thought the second I heard girl math.

YESSSS thank you for speaking out because this trend has got to go.

My uncle was a vice president for a local bank. However, who managed the household finances? My aunt the teacher!

Thanks for saying that out loud! This made my day. ❤

Gurl Power YAYYYY ❤

Love this ❤️

Preach 🙌🏼❤️

Mr crabs and the monopoly dude being behind her in the bg is kinda funny to me 😭 I 100% agree with you though, I’ve disliked seeing this trend online justifying poor spending habits and making it look like we are poor spenders.

Not the Patagonia vest 😂😂😂😂

You are awesome BFF! 💜🎉

Love your support. I knew this already, but it's worth repeating

Girl when are you gonna get a better camera? :D love your content

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

👏

I don't think "girl math" is a problem, but it depends on the person and how serious they take it.

I'm all for woman in the work place. I have no problem being a stay at home Dad

I find very few men managing money in their household these days. Among my collegues I found its the women doing the financials, securing the needs and trying to keep debt manageable. Women manage family budget money better because she's more than likely a single mom and takes her responsibilities seriously OR has an impulsive manchild partner who cannot live without his toys, the latest iphone, have to show up his buddies when going out to lunch or on a guy's weekend and doesn't manage kids so he doesn't have a clue and couldn't care less about other people's needs, wants and priorities. She is more likely to want life insurance, health care benefits and a retirement plan and will go to work to get it if he won't.

Excellent! Thanks Vivian, I absolutely love your content! The more we know and take care of our finances, the more empowered we are.

I'm a woman and not good with my money 😭😭😭

Why do women earn less on average? Because men work more. In that same research study men work 44 hours on average while women work 40. I really liked your channel and it was great subscribing but if you can’t maintain an audience without lying what’s the point?
