The problem isn’t “willpower”
Impulse spending usually happens when you’re tired, bored, stressed, or surrounded by triggers.
So the goal isn’t to be perfect, it’s to make the “bad” purchase harder and the “good” choice easier.
A 3-step reset you can do today
- Add friction: remove saved cards from the apps you overspend on.
- Set a delay: “If I still want it tomorrow, I’ll buy it.”
- Make it visible: write down what that purchase costs you (rent, groceries, savings goal).
What to do next
Pick one trigger (late-night scrolling, food delivery, random sales) and apply one friction tactic.
