Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • My card is saved everywhere, so checkout is a single tap from any app or email that catches my eye
  • Tapping a card or letting things auto-pay, I never actually feel the money leave
  • Tapping a card never feels like spending anything
  • I like the idea of dividing my money into buckets, but carrying cash around just isn’t realistic for how I actually live and pay for things
  • There are a couple of categories where I blow the budget every single month
