Every single day!
How fast am I going over the speed limit?
How much change should I get?
Can I afford a new TV after I make my house payment?
If you're talking about more "advanced" math - that's probably a more accurate question. Do you use Algebra after you've left school? Maybe - depends on your career choice. Engineers, researchers, and programmers often use algebra as a daily part of their jobs.
When you get into calculus and other higher forms of math, you'll find that there are fewer career paths that use it.
Statistics and other forms of what I call "business math" are much more widespread. The stock exchange, tax law, and other financial aspects of life and job are heavily tied to these types of "business math" and are great skills to have.

Hell yeah. From simple addition and subtraction for personal finances, balancing the checkbook to more complex things in your job. You may get a job using a micrometer and need to figure out additional thickness or areas. You may need to figure the price of customer items... plus tax. You may need to figure out your hourly rate times the hours you worked so you arent jipped out of money on your paycheck. Going to the grocery store and only have a certain amount of money you can spend.
The list could go on and on and on....
So yes, math will be used forever.

Well not calculus, but I use math every day.
I do a very detailed grocery list based on coupons and prices and sales. (you have to spend $25 to get double coupons)
I'm also great at calulating tips at restaurants.
Also, i have a two year old and we spend a lot of time counting.

Calculus? Of course yes.. and statistics, something I never thought I would use... go figure. BTW I am a bio Major so I am sure you wonder how do we use the stuff.

I didn't even use it IN school . But my husband uses it ALL the time. Freaky math. And he still remembers all the ...(what are they called) ....darn. I guess I could have tried harder in school.
