The REAL Reason You're Broke... | Fennryn Reacts to Girl Math 

The girl math Fenn would support, is when you put one slice of cake on top of another slice of cake, it becomes one slice of layer cake.

the reason it is called "girl math" instead of "woman math" is because most of these "women" may appear to be adults on the outside, but on the inside, they've never grown up past the mental age of 9.

Girl math just equals out to lack of self control and poor decision making. Great video Fennryn.

Insert incredibles 2. "why would they change math? Math is math."

got it so if i ever get a girlfriend or a wife, i need to bury a box filled with money somewhere just in case girl math happens

Dude: _"GIRL MATH ISN'T A THING!!"_ 🤣🤣🤣

They failed math class and had to create their own version of math. For the woman at 4:44 He is contemplating if divorce is worth it or not. He was weighing the pros and cons in his head.

the translation of "if real math doesnt work" is "we manipulate data to fit what reality we want it to fit in order to feel better"

This is why people say, "Never let the woman hold the money"

I better not see a woman from that generation in any financial position EVER or I'm gonna go ballistic.

As a guy I can confirm: financial responsibility is absolutely a plus for marriage material. Also, it's rather obvious what this is about: women trying to celebrate/justify doing what they already want to do so they don't feel like they look bad. It's a problem as old as time.

"There's plenty of men wearing the same shirt for 10 years" Lol... 30 years for some of mine... ^^;

Fennryn: Financial Responsibility is Sexy :: Chat TTS Superchat :: Chat: We want plushies and a wallet that screams this at us

What I'm getting from this is that Girl math is cope for poor financial decisions. Except when it's flat out wrong, $25 for 10 wears does not mean it's $5 for 20 wears. It would be $5 for 50 wears.

This reminds me of a story I heard during a conference my parents dragged me to during high school. The speaker showed us a story of a college student who went $200,000+ in debt because she thought college loans were free money. Took monthly trips, bought stuff for the entire dorm, paid for parties, etc.

This is why we need a Fennryn math stream. It is apparently imperative for financial responsibility.

As much as I joke about financial responsibility, genuine respect to Fenn for calling this crap out. I’m just hoping it’s a joke and people aren’t genuinely falling for it

Fenn = best fox

Why do people insist on cash being free money? Cash is still money, hell, it’s really good fucking money, because you pay for the item right then with no strings attached, no later debt, and it’s secure.

'It was cash, so it was free.' where did that mindset even come from

You can bet that these ladies' credit records have more spots than a leopard in a polka dot tie.

"finical responsibility is sexy" yes that, your man will be so happy

I felt like I got flashbanged by that "Financial responsibility is sexy." Been trying to explain exactly that to various friends, male and female, for years now.

*NEVER* give these types of woman a debt/credit card... period.

marketing team watching these toks all pulling up their hoodies and saying in Palpatin's voice: "yes... yes..."

This attitude makes perfect sense in the context that they aren't spending their own money

This is just “how money feels to me” - (1) You have cash, and that cash is already “spent” (2) you return an item that you “spent” money on and now you have “more” money to spend, because you weren’t going to wear an item you want to return, (3) rewards are “more money” because you were going to spend that money anyway. It’s all about how having and/or spending that money *feels*, and they feel the need to justify their desires with justification rather than than own up to “I want an excuse to spend money, because I’ve been taught that shopping is one of the few things I’m allowed to enjoy.”

"I bought this for $38.. so its $30" Sis make that same argument to your bank statement.

If you buy a jacket and return it, its still a net loss because you burned gas driving to and from the store

Remember: Financial responsibility is sexy!

I brew coffee at home. Way cheaper. Plus saves having to drive to the closest Tim's

"$5 to wear that shirt" STOP GIVING THE CORPS IDEAS! THEY GUNNA MAKE US RENT CLOTHING! WE WON'T EVEN BE ALLOWED TO OWN THE CLOTHES WE WEAR!

"Girl math" just seems like something that happens when you skip all your math classes

Big braind fox girl is tall and big brained!!! And yeah, the girl math thing is just...mind bending. Either people are playing stupid...or they need to be in a conservatorship.

girlmath is why companys love girlpower so much

Store credit is just a shorter way for a business to say: “Your money is mine, you just get to decide what it’s spent on.” Also saying girl math is “right now I make money” math is just admitting that girl math is incredibly shortsighted 😂

To quote a wise man “ I think my brain just committed suicide , I can feel it bleeding”

The taboo exists because you are not allowed to criticize women, period. Doesn't matter how legitimate the criticism is, doesn't matter how they ruin themselves with poor financial choices. The modern woman is above accountability and criticism these days.

Fenn slowly losing it the more she watched was very relatable

2:04 Companies, the elite, shareholders, credit card companies and so on

Girl Math has Broken Fenn :(

Don't apologize for correcting someone who's wrong

If I go to a store and spend $20, and shoplift $20, it cancels out

4:50 I'd get out of the car right there and never look back

yup... eye is twitching and every synapse in my brain is tweaking out seeing people actually running their life off "Girl Math"

Oooh kay, @6:00. I was listening to this on a secondary screen at work. Hearing what she said, I glanced over and wasn't surprised. No, I didn't judge a book by its cover. I heard garbage, looked at the book, and simply accepted it as what should be expected. Thoreau said a man is rich in proportion to the things he can let alone. Having stacks of cash is great, but having few needs you cannot meet yourself is another form of wealth & independence. Then again, I barely dabble in social media. Comparing myself to everyone else or trying to post a curated version of the highlights of my life doesn't appeal to me. I live my life, not Elon Musk's. I don't have a Bugatti. I have an old tractor and an old truck, but I also have more eggs and milk than I can use. So I give what I can to a neighbor who has four kids. They in turn send their kids to my place to help with yard work, or picking tomatoes, or to get a goat off the roof. (Long story) My choices were not to pursue flashy cars & dinners with gold foil cooked onto my food. Instead, I have venison & trout in my freezer. I keep ducks, goats, & honeybees. There are wild chives and dandelions popping up in my yard that are begging to go in salads. There is fungus in the woods just waiting to be broken off a tree and put into a stew. My life won't appeal to most people and that's fine. It is my life, shaped by my priorities...comfort, good food, & being able to listen to the wind rustle the leaves as I lie back and stare at the Milky Way at night. This isn't for everyone, but if you made it to the end of this comment, maybe living more simply is for you.

Fennryn proving more and more that she is the ultimate Waifu.

I feel called out. Most of my shirts are 10 years old or older, and I still wear them in a regular rotation.

Atleast my sister was some what reasonable, she always said if she bought something with her tip money, then it's free

I triple check my math to make sure I have enough for my subscriptions and rent.

I have worn the same two suits for ten years. One was a gift from my Mom the other came from a thrift store. I would like to replace the thrift store one, but only when silver gets a bit higher.

Her face that is closer to da camera, got me blushing. 😳

Girl Math seems like a psi-op to keep people buying stuff when they don’t have the money for it. Also I treat the money in my wallet (not my cards) as free money only because it’s normally been there for months and I don’t even remember the last time I used physical money

"Who buys a shirt to only wear ten times?" A lot of women's clothing is so cheaply made it'll fall apart in the wash about that time. My female friends from school would wear things just a half dozen times or so. In a few months it's out of fashion anyway.

I'm entirely convinced that some of these women couldn't count past 10.

My grandpa would say that my grandma would save herself broke if he wasn't there

As a man, I have worn the same clothes for the last two weeks. I have saved so much money on not doing dishes, cleaning the house or my clothes and not taking showers. Financial responsibility is sexy! 😊

Nice vid, but most importantly: I love ur character outfit and colors!!! Gotten u in my recommended vids only just now, i saw ur clothing design and was like 😯 (ps. I love character design for fantasy settings, and my fav color combo is cyan/orange/yellow, so this comletely fits my vibe)

3:52 - you spent $90 and got $10 kidnapped for a next shopping day ransom

0:08 It was at this point that I knew this was going to be a great video

This is proof of what a failure our public school system is. I'm the daughter of 2 accountants. This hurt my head to listen to.

Got to love Fenn's reactions.

Girl math is going to be the future of how women operate, its not just a "trend", sorry.

If you put a mathematician in the same room as someone who believes in “girl math”… only one person is walking out of that room alive

Even if you get store credit, you just wasted your time because the store credit is equal to the amount you originally paid, not even a cent in profit.

Girl math = coping and making excuses

This hurts so much

This is my favorite Fennryn video ever! (So far, anyway!) 😊

I'm so glad I've not seen this in the wild yet, the entire time I was watching this video my thought process was "this isn't real right?" but I know better and it hurts which is why all I could do was shake my head the whole time.

Or: how to GirlBoss your way right into shitty credit.

XIXth was an error.

"reject modernity return to tradition" is just increasingly more and more true... people are fucking idiots now. however, the "round down not up" clip that's satire. the issue is only around 4% is actually satire.

A friend once told me that by keeping track of my money and living within my means, I am doing financially better than the majority of the country. I believe him now. Keep spreading good life advice and the great content!

“The popcorn only costs 50p more.” Fennryn, are you *GASP* British?

Girl Math makes me think of that trade offer meme that's horribly one sided: ⚠️TRADE OFFER⚠️ You give me: $100 I give you: $10

Some of these ladies need someone to go "I love you, and you have a problem, what you say makes no sense whatsoever." - Who taught these ladies how to math? - To be fair there certainly are men who are bad at/with money, but for now at least they aren't making 'fools' of themselves, by posting about it on the internet, at least to my knowledge. xD lol Also yup it isn't all bad to treat oneself, but yea doing so at the detriment to finances/making good living decisions is no bueno. Psst use sage mode on us when you go talk no jutsu/serious mode. :P - Seriously though what you said about it being a deeper issue, is certainly food for thought! What you said about making sure that we have money for when we return from a vacation and/or holiday seasons is absolutely spot on, we may not take the money with us when we leave, but while we are here on this earth, there is no sense in making life more difficult for future us because of money, sometimes it is true it cannot be helped, but anything to mitigate/lessen the blow should be preformed, before it becomes an issue, not to mention the snowball affect. If I have to take a loan of says $100 us dollars out to make rent, then that $100 has to come out somewhere else, and often it would incur interest further complicating things thus keeping me in debt. - (For the record the $100 is just an example, and taking loans out is foolish imho.)

3:29 - Okay, so while their logic that "it was cash, so it's free" is definitely wrong, earnings from gambling entirely depends on your viewpoint. If you take 100$ and declare that you're spending that gambling for the experience of gambling and nothing else, then you've spent that 100$ on an expensive experience. With that, any earnings you get are just a cherry on top and pure winnings. Now, if you got your gambling item to earn money, yeah. The buy-in price 100% is getting deducted from your overall.

This is the kind of financial logic you get when you have never worked a day of your life and all the money you spend was earned by someone else.

It's insanity, that's what it is.

Reasons to not let those women have access to my wallet 🤣

Girl math exists cuz they have simps to use as ATMs.

I’ve never been so pissed in my life.

Gotta see the guy math response to it but actually making sense. Essentially if a guy buys a drill and is able to make things using said drill instead of buying said thing, over time if you use the drill making things after enough time you will have saved more making things using the drill that the drill earned its cost back and then some

This video can be described as Fen close to losing her mind.

"Girl Math" is the reason why merchants all over the world used to use scales in their transactions back in the day; some people clearly need basic visual aids to understand value exchange.

Financial responsibility is donating to Fenn's streams

What are they teaching in school? It is like the person who bought a hundred dollars worth of scratch off tickets and earn fifty back thinking they won fifty and came out ahead. Not realizing they are in the hole for fifty. As for those points you earn, they are only beneficial if you doing needs and not wants purchases. It is like I have to buy groceries and I use my credit card to pay and earn cash back. Then pay off what I spent on that card every paycheck to not be charged interest. You can kind of view it as earning money or as saving money.

Somehow, I knew that a Caleb Hammer clip would show up here.

My sisters in calculus, this is not good fiscal responsibility.

Okay, but it actually is net 0 if you return something for the full price (unless it becomes store credit that makes you spend more than you otherwise would). You just shouldn't be buying things with the mindset of "I'll return it later". Either: 1) It's junk, so buying it was useless to start with. 2) You're trying to buy something, wear it out slightly, and then return it, which basically amounts to stealing. Also, you might end up not returning it.

Girl Math: We don't understand why we're always broke

2 minutes in and I am so bloody confused. How do people develop this line of thinking in the first place? Yeah nah the rest didn't help with the confusion. If you have to put that much mental power into working a dollar to times worn ratio... You already done messed up. The mental gymnastics shown to justify spending beyond your means on frivolous shit and hiding it behind "girl math" is honestly worrying...

for me if I spend 100$ and get a discount in the purchase like "100$ and above you get a 20$ discount" that I would understand to do especially if it's a limited time thing, but if I have to spend 100$ and won't get the discount until the other purchase then it ain't worth it. I usually shop in thrift store or art supply stores unless I come back to the store more than once a month then the 100$ now and get a discount later might be tempting but I am not going out of my way to spend 100$ to get it.

Pretty Sure that Fennryn's brain just fried

It has been a while since I've worked in clothing retail but if I remember correctly, store credit is only given if you pay with cash or gift card so that people that use counterfeit cash or scammed people with gift cards can't get actual cash back. If you pay with a debit or credit card there would be no issue but if you wanted cash back there was an entire process that had to be done with the manager. Is it dumb, Yes, Could I change it, No; it is a corporate policy that we couldn't argue against.

Soft fluffy fox ears ❤

I feel like it goes one of two ways. Either they try to justify the "girl math" mentality and logic, or the fear spending money and not having enough so much that they never spend anything.

I started a budget and at the end of one month i had 5 dollars left over. I was consideeing what bill i should apply it to for the following month. The girl my roommate was seeing said 'you should buy something nice.. for yourself!' During rhe pandemic the government was giving out 2000 in CERB benefits and this same girl spent all of that money on cosplay accessories. And then cant fathom why she is broke.

Today was a horrible day to have a (mostly) functioning brain.

@fennryn 10 years for men's cloths is rookie numbers. I have a pair of hiking boots I got when I was a kid for about $120 15 years later been on 6 continents now down to 8 cents a mile and still got good tred on them. Got my grandfather's bomber crew jacket has been passed down and that has been in use since his raids over Germany in '44.
