Girl Math (Signed Copy)

Girl Math... A New And Superior Approach To Financial Decision-Making That Absolutely Works Out

In the land where shopping is a sport and numbers are more of a suggestion than a constraint, a new kind of mathematics has emerged. If you return something, the refund is free money. If something is on sale, you saved money by buying it. If you spend a lot at once, the individual items are basically free when divided by the total. These are not rationalizations. These are the principles of Girl Math, and they are documented here with illustrated cartoon art and the confidence of a system that has never once been successfully challenged in a real-time argument.

This adult parody book is a love letter and a gentle documentation of a cultural moment... the internet phenomenon of financial logic that makes perfect internal sense and does not survive contact with an accountant. It is funny because it is recognizable. It is recognizable because everyone has either used this logic or watched someone use it with total conviction. The book does not judge. The book documents. The ledger may not balance, but the reasoning is airtight.

This Book IS For:

• Anyone who has ever divided a purchase price by uses-per-year to justify a buying decision and found the result satisfying
• People who understand instinctively that returning something is not the same as not buying something
• Fans of humor that is funny because it is true and not funny because it exaggerates anything
• Gift-givers who want to hand someone something they will immediately send to three friends who need it more

This Book Is NOT For:

• Financial advisors who have a blood pressure situation when encountering this kind of logic in a client meeting
• Anyone who finds this humor reductive and would like to have a broader conversation about economic systems
• People who have never once purchased something they did not strictly need and are very proud of this
• Anyone expecting the book to reach a conclusion where the math is corrected and traditional accounting restored

Appropriate For:

• Bachelorette parties... girl math is practically the bachelorette party financial model anyway
• White elephant exchanges among people who have all had the girl math conversation at least once
• Gifts for anyone who works in retail and has watched this reasoning unfold in real time
• Any occasion where you want to give someone a book that makes them laugh and immediately do the math on how cheap it was

Why Buy This

Here is the girl math on buying this book: it costs very little, which means you basically saved money by buying it. If you give it as a gift, the cost per laugh generated is essentially zero. If it gets passed around at a party and read aloud, the entertainment value per dollar spent approaches infinite. The gift is free. You made money doing this. That is not only correct but is the only reasonable interpretation of the financial data available.

Buy it for someone who will appreciate it. Buy it for someone who won't and needs it more. Buy multiple copies because the per-unit cost goes down at volume, which means each additional copy you buy is essentially saving you money, which means buying this book indefinitely is the financially responsible decision. Girl math. It works every time. The book proves it.
