Imagine buying a $300 bag, but having your new purchase being free! How? Well - girl math, of course. A new money trend has TikTok users coming up with funny ways to justify their spending habits. While many have come to clarify that it’s a viral joke and to not take it too seriously, critics have come out to say it’s not funny; and that it glorifies overspending.  Plus, another viral money habit: Loud budgeting, which is all about financial transparency and saying "no" to spending.  Presented by Audrey Siek & Ryan Huang Produced and edited by Audrey Siek Music credits: Pixabay & its talented community of contributors

It’s a financial trend that many millennials and Gen Zers are embracing; with almost half of millennials in the US saying they are so far from financial independence, they might as well spend on what they like to relieve stress. Critics say doom spending shouldn't be confused with self care. While treating yourself once in awhile is totally ok, don't forget the long-term impact of our spending choices!
