Not a budget tracker. Not an expense app. Just a simple question before every purchase: should you buy it or not?

Name and price. That's it. 5 seconds.

🇯🇵

Kakebo

Japanese mindful spending method from 1904. Am I buying on emotion?

10-10-10

How will I feel in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years?

📦

The Minimalists

Does this add real value to my life — or just fill a void?

🧠

Root Cause

What am I actually trying to fix by buying this?

📋

5-Point Check

Need or want? Own something similar? How often will I use it?

🏛

Stoic

Own things — don't let things own you. Do I need it, or want to impress?

🪞

What If I Don't?

Flip the question. What actually changes if I just... don't buy it?

Budget trackers

  • Track expenses after the damage
  • Categories, receipts, spreadsheets
  • Guilt when you overspend
  • You already know you spend too much

Save or Not

  • Decide before you buy
  • One question: buy or skip?
  • Pride when you say no
  • Every skip = money saved

Built different
